Here is the article of Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the USB and other

quite young compared to Mandriva, Gentoo.

Doesn't this article itself simply put things straight. Ubuntu has
been around for 4 years *only* now as compared to the oldies like
Gentoo and Debian or for that matter RH. And already the upstream
kernel contributions is increasing and am sure will soon catch up with
the other distros. Also, one must understand lots of kernel devels
work in Redhat and Novell. for. E.g Alan Cox was with RH and Greg
himself works for Novell. So one can expect many "commits" from these
folks.
