I submitted a patch for an annoying terraform provider once. It took about a week to fix and almost 3 years for them to merge it upstream. I got to learn Go and gained a much more solid understanding of how terraform works. I gained more from undertaking the project than from the actual fix.

Had this exact experience and why I don't bother anymore and fork if it's absolutely necessary.
