As a hiring manager, I used to want to see a profile that competed with my own (at the time).
Now I've learned that (1) burnout is real, (2) work CAN be intellectually stimulating enough to not create that OSS desire, and (3) eventually your job ends at 5 and life takes over.
With that said, I WISH more developers opened issues on the projects they've used.
All too often I've seen people drop one dependency for another due to an edge-case.
Even a simple issue explaining the problem, providing a test case or sample code would be great as an indicator to how a developer approaches problems and seeks help.
