This is misunderstanding IMO. People get paid indirectly. I use tools,
I submit patch and I am not paid for that. But I still get my salary.

If we would use git then the patches would contain commit message and
authors info
so it would ne much easy to track it. Many big project manage with git
and mailing list
and this is much easier and less time consuming.

I have submitted several bugs with patches some time ago (concerning
bluetooth) and most of them got lost :-(
