Making Canonical's/Ubuntu's contributions more visible

[Przemysław Kulczycki]

[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?
