There is a notable difference between making contribution easier 
and improving user experience. One thing that is often 
misunderstood about open-source driving power is that it is in 
fact very egoistic. You do stuff that is useful to you and share 
it with others because it costs you nothing and benefits in the 
long run. But key target user tends to be developer itself, not 
some kind of "end" user. Of course there is some place for 
idealistic motivation but in my opinion this is most important 
part in open-source success.
