[disclaimer]
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/

Canonical or Ubuntu should develop a similar site listing their contributions to the free software community. It could include: Upstart, Storm, Bazaar, Jockey, Brainstorm, Ubiquity, gnome-app-install, migration-assistant, and many more. (with links to sources of the mentioned software) This would cut any discussions about Ubuntu being a parasite on other distros.
What do you think about it? Anyone from the website team is reading this?
