Well the reason I don’t has nothing to do with shame and everything to do with time. I’m allocating my extra time to work, which (on a good day) makes my company money.
For a candidate who does have OS contributions, that’s great but most will not. And the more senior they are the less likely I would imagine.
If you already have a job, you don't strictly need a different one. If you really need one, it should be okay to quit the old one first, perhaps work on open source as needed, then get a new one. As it is often said, looking for a job is a full-time job.
