"Developers may be able to come up with a quick patch, but vendors then need to add these fixes to the many versions of their products that rely on the open-source solutions."

Developers can save time by ensuring they are working with clean code before the application is deployed. By using a repository manager, they can contiously check OpenSource code for vulnerabilities (many of which are commonly occuring across multiple code samples) to include the correct patches in the application before it leaves the DevOps team's hands.
