If you're a big open source project, sure, sometimes. If you're one of the hundreds or thousands smaller libraries they use, no, because there's no PR to gain from sponsoring a small project.
This is sadly true. As a tech lead i try to steer the team away from the old thinking that oss should not get developer love. At the very least make a small poc of the issue and supply that. We are all developers. You dont try to make it hard on coworkers, so dont make it hard of maintainers of an oss project you use.
