Being an opensource user, I felt like I should give back something of value back to the community. Also, I get to learn new stuffs and pick few tricks while I was solving a problem and get to know new people who are also contributing in ways.
Lets Discuss. What say?

It helps me with my job. If I find a bug I can fix it, submit it, and leave the maintenance to the owners.
Since open source is open source, you typically get a faster turnaround time. For instance, if I found a bug in SharePoint 2013, I'd have to submit it and pray they fix it in time that doesn't affect my bottom line.
yeah thats the beauty of opensource. You can know what is causing it and perhaps suggest a solution
Pretty much the reasons you've listed.
same here. I always have a tab open for github. Normally I go around fixing any bugs i could find or add a new feature
