Yup. I use D almost exclusively in my professional work, and if
something bugs me in the course of that, I fix it, and if
applicable, submit the fix back upstream. Failing that, I put
generally useful files on my server for public download.

There's a variety of other little things that follow this same
pattern: they are useful to my business, so I do them for personal
profit, but they are useful to other people too so I make it public.
