I do care and will fix those I introduce that causes bugs or regressions, I believe it is fair to ask the same for other people.
I hope we are not measuring complexity or anything important by the number of patches are we ?
Of course it's not a 'measurement', it's more of an indication that we have 10'000 files which need maintainership by openSUSE. Actually, I found that talking to upstream gives you a LOT! Even patches that we carried for > 4 years in packages are just merged in upstream git bases after a few mails; the best? I (or anybody else touching this package) will NEVER ever have to rebase the patch again, having the optional chance for an error (yes, quilt is cool... but not magic). The openSUSE Project wants to be a good downstream and have relations with our upstreams (as much as we want to maintain a healthy with 'our downstreams', like SLEx for example). Passing patches around IS one of the strength of open source.. why should we kick it with feet and not care? Because it costs us 'five minutes now and saves us 30 in two years' ?
