I can say part of the issue is that some of the working content on some servers are not working in the proper manner. DSP only accepts retail like behavior, and refuses to accept hacked together code. Some of the code used on custom servers will match one or both of these categories.
It will also depend on their server level/stage. For example, if you are talking about ZM cap 75 servers, most of the DSP code is already there and has been tested and working. But, if you are aiming for Soa content, that is much more hit and miss, and most stuff will not be there.
And, in some cases, you just get those who use the code but don't bother to contribute back. Since this is an open source project, there is no way to control that, regardless of how unsupportive they may be to the overall project scope.
I personally agree, I wish more people would contribute what they have working, and work more with devs to get what they have put together working in a way that is supported by retail behavior. I started learning programming for the same reason, to help all the people working on this wonderful project. However, I have not been able to do much for a while due to schedules and focus elsewhere. I will try to get back to it at some point going forward.
