I don't know which list is the best to discuss it because there is no
specific list for discussing Ubuntu's website, so sorry for the duplication.
When the thread expands someone could decide to keep it on only one list.

Now let's get to the point.
One of the often accusations against Ubuntu is that it only takes from other
projects (Debian, Red Hat, Novell/Suse...) and doesn't give back anything.
Ubuntu should make it more visible for others to see what does it contribute
to upstream/floss community.
Red Hat and Novell have websites listing their contributions to free
software:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RedHatContributions
http://www.redhat.com/truthhappens/leadership/osdevelopment/
http://www.novell.com/company/affiliations/


This is more of an issue for developers than the website itself. I
also believe that it was discussed during FOSSCamp.


Good. I hope something will be done about it ASAP.
Reading all those comments about Ubuntu not contributing anything is 
really irritating.
