One-off: Twitter Python API, Wordpress and some other PHP OSS cruft.
Curious/Guilty: Most other things I've played with. Have occasionally emailed developer(s) or commented on threads/mailing lists without submitting a formal patch. Lucene is something I've looked at fairly recently. Have modified and extended bits of NLTK.
Active: couple of OSS licensed projects I wrote or was involved with years ago; 'active' is a fairly generous term!
I think it's mostly because I tend to do things to fix the problem I have right now, not to make other people's lives better. I don't really have the right attitude, do I ;)
