You don’t have to fix them, at least not all of them. You can just add an “open for contributions” or “help wanted” label on GitHub and let other people deal with it.
I sometimes wonder if you could make a name for yourself by being the Johnny Appleseed of FOSS. Go around to many projects and fixing a longstanding open ticket on each.
You’ll have tons of github repos and stars, if nothing else.
When it doesn’t work, you get helpful bug reports *
That is people helping you

Yes. Why bother sharing if you’re not trying to help others?

People definitely do this, it’s not uncommon. I also need to spend more time contributing to FOSS, it’s a great idea.

Absolutely. It helps identity bugs that others may experience. A good bug report will make it easy for you to reproduce
Yes, because tomorrow you may face the same bug.
