Sometimes the experience is not rewarding as your patches languish, unanswered even (people are trying to improve that situation since it discourages contributors). But often someone will grab them if it has patches, especially if they've been touched by the problem. Active occasional pestering sometimes gets action on a PR (but sometimes the action is to close it ;).
