To be honest I don't see why they don't hire one full time php coder as part of (the start) of a help team. And then people can put requests in for _simple_ hacks which this coder can do in turn. They can be part of the official vB catalogue. I'm not an experienced coder but I think a full time staff member could produce at least one simple hack per day.
This is afterall a business for Jelsoft and yes they do make money out of it.
I have always thought of this is an official Jelsoft site, they own it, and they ultimately decide what goes on here, and I've never really been fussed on the way it is 'cut-off' from vb.com (when in fact it is part of the same company).
