how open is RH to bug fix submissions from non-customers?
I got the impression most of their bug fixes were done internally by employees, a large part of which consists of backporting fixes from upstream FOSS projects.
This is my experience as well. The only thing that RedHat has ever done with my bug reports is point me to the upstream projects to have it fixed/altered/added there. They will however, occasionally accept some nudges about updating software that the upstream project has already released.
