There is no argument that Asterisk is strong today because of the contributions to make it so by Digium employee developers.
But since this is "supposed to be open sourced", then non-Digium but still members of the Asterisk community have also contributed to its present state. Sangoma developers, and many other similar companies, have also contributed being members as well. This makes sense because their business is also to benefit from a strong Asterisk. What I also strongly believe is that Sangoma (and others like them) have substantially raised the bar of excellence through their own innovative connectivity products. Innovations which at the end of the day, goes back to benefit Asterisk. I'm pretty sure that Digium is right now going head over heels in trying to catch up to what Sangoma is doing good at right now. And if ever they do, then Asterisk goes one notch higher in the respectability level. Take out competition, and you're forced to accept whatever is fed to you (quality or no quality).
