Not reallty. My employer regularly sends patches back
upstream for fixes
(or extension) on quite a few open source projects. Even I've gotten patches
sent to me for stuff I maintain (private project) and yes, the patches worked.
I routinely accept patches for TTYtter, and I've sent my Mozilla patches
back upstream (but Mozilla, in typical fashion, isn't interested in anything
that doesn't allow them to out-Chrome Chrome).
