There is a whole world of difference between making the sources (& thus the changes made) available than actually and pro-actively submitting the changes into the core project.
It is the latter I'm interested in.
If they are doing it then great, fine, fantastic. It is however all to easy to skip this bit.
It's open source. If upstream want it they can just get it.
What? It's not upstream that has to go around finding stuff to integrate. It's the ones who create new stuff that have to offer them to upstream projects. This is what it means to be a good citizen in the open source community.
Upstream projects are just the reference code base, they are not people. The people are whoever contributes.

Ubuntu != Linux
Integrating FF into Gnome on Linux is all very well. Two points come to mind
1) Is this integration being fed back into the relevant products code base?
2) What about KDE, XFCE etc?
