I once asked the same question to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's "benevolent dictator" ( the occasion was UbuntuBelowZero developer preparations for Ubuntu 6.04). I'd noticed that 99.9% of the developers in the room were white so I asked him how it was that an "African" distro (as it was being marketed then) had virtually no African developers.
I have never considered nor confined Open Source to "code contributors."
