Volunteer contributors are negligible when it comes to larger changes at the codebase or regular contributions. Maintaining a kernel port or working on GCC is almost always a full time job.
Perhaps we're just talking about different things here. I'm well aware where most of the code in the kernel, GCC and LLVM comes from. But Tumbleweed has ~15,000 packages, and the overall ecosystem does have a lot of volunteer contributions. As important as the kernel, compiler and browser are, a Linux distribution is much more than that. Best regards, Aaron
