Debian is the first distro to allows volunteer to maintain packages. Then Ubuntu releases Hoary and gives invitation to be a MOTU maintainer with hangout channel in FreeNode, later on, Mercurial was released and Launchpad.net was created during Dapper days at the time where GIT is not yet mainstream, which gives way to PPA packages, then after a year, ArchLinux gains popularity, which allows anyone to submit packages using `yaourt`, a custom package manager on top of `pacman`.
