Ubuntu is in no sense a community distribution. It's much more akin to something like Redhat Enterprise in development terms. There's an open, community led, essentially democratic upsteam (Debian and Fedora), then a commercial organisation (Canonical or Redhat) takes the output from that, pares it down to something they think they can support, and adds some twists for 'differentiation'. There may also be a community repository to add back in some of the things that got left out (Universe and EPEL). It's not a bad model, per se, but it does no-one any good to try to call it something it's not.

You don't have to be a Canonical employee in order to be able to upload to the main repository.

A couple of items:
1. It's Red Hat <- two words. I know the font doesn't look like that, but it is.
2. Red Hat and Fedora put their changes upstream. It's a big deal in fact. A real big deal.
