To be honest, that's not always true. At least the major distributions and a 
few of the minors have packagers that hold KDE developers accounts. 
The problem is, as I can see, numbers (those people are a minor percentage 
of $DISTRO_CONTRIBUTORS and they also do packaging) and sometimes expertise 
(I can touch CMake files and perhaps do little adjustments in C++, but 
nowhere near fixing complex bugs).
