Well, Corbet did call it a "fully open _Android_" phone.
The most active Android (system) hacking place has always been XDA's "Dream Development" forum. While the forum is mostly user oriented, it is AFAIK the one place where all the developers meet and get their announcements done.
But everyone seems to be running only the Android stack. I think that with the release of Nokia's N900, many people interested in a "GNU/Linux" like system will be targeting the N900.

I am not particularly impressed by the Sapphire as a hardware platform. The big news here IMHO is that the ADP program is giving signs of continuity.

Thanks for the information. Indeed it seems it's much more probable that N900 wins in the aspect of using some other OS stack besides the shipped one without sacrificing (hw) features. I was mainly just getting confirmation for that. For now I'm sticking with my FreeRunner but in 1-2 years there are hopefully other options in the market as well. Once you've used Debian on your phone you don't want to switch... ;)
