Look at the number of GCC and toolchain hackers they've employed over
the years (some for a *very* long time, Stan Shebs for one). Consider
where GCC's Objective C came from.

They've certainly contributed in that respect. (OK, so it's questionable
how useful ObjC is for non-GNUstep hackers, but it's *there*, and it
wouldn't otherwise be.)
