Oh, please.
Do you understand every piece of software running on your machine right now?
I certainly don't (in particular X related things).
Each distribution has particular "domain experts" who understand things
and co-ordinate amongst the others packagers. For Debian, for example,
it just so happens that those people are publically known.
No one can understand everything. I don't think anyone even has the time.

to not copy In-Reply-To: correctly).
