Not sure what that’s supposed to mean. There are a couple of packages in 
the standard Debian repo with my name on them; do I count as an “unknown 
developer” to you?

Debian is huge: I think there’s something like 50,000 packages in the 
standard repo. You think there are that number of famous-name developers 
out there?

Remember also that each distro includes all the tools for maintenance of 
the distro itself, as open source, in its standard repo. It is usually 
quite easy for users to create their own add-on repos, with additional 
packages not available in the standard distribution -- Ubuntu PPAs are one 
well-known example of this.

And from there, it’s not a big step, if there is sufficient demand, for a 
package to migrate from an “unofficial” repo to an “official” one.

This is how the Open Source community works. Everything comes from those 
who choose to contribute, not from those who just sit on their bums and 
complain.
