A full-paid developer has 8+ hours a day to work on problems of his/her code. An unpaid volunteers doesn't have the time. Thus, he has to prioritize and will do the things first that are most important to his vision for the project.
On the contrary, a volunteer has the time. There is no boss saying what you have to do, so you do what has to be done, no matter what, till the job is perfect.
What planet do you live on? My volunteer hours are truly limited, but I try because if I don't no one will. I know that for a fact because most of the 20 or 30 packages I maintain will be new to the distribution with 12.2. Thus my limited time is the only reason these packages are in opensuse at all. Perfecting them is something for the upstream developing, not me the simple downstream packager. As to evergreen, I've watched it and seen little in the way of true bug fixing done by the evergreen maintainers. They are stretched very thin and focus on backporting fixes for the supported release. So if there is a 11.4 bug that doesn't exist in 12.1, I seriously doubt the evergreen team will be trying to fix it, sorry if that doesn't match your expectations. Of course a normal maintainer may work on a package bug during the evergreen support period, but i've seen very little of that. Almost ll the evergreen patches come from the core evergreen team.
