If we had someone that is connected to RH squid maintainer we could
push some fixes to the enterprise rings and get more feedback.
I am not suggesting using them as Guinna pigs but puss squid newer
versions to the major vendors.
So who do we care about? or we don't care about anyone?

We care about everyone, but do not have the time or energy to support
silent distros. I'm kind of working around in a cycle, Gentoo were
updated earlier this year, Debian just recently got out of freeze. Your
push of unofficial CentOS packages has been a welcome step forward
there, if you are interested in pushing in other areas of the
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS chain that would be a great help.
The top food chains for Squid seem to be Gentoo, Fedora, Debian. The
BSD's are still a mess of cross-pollinating packages. The remainder are
largely walled-silos with no transparency (Mandrake, MacOS, Solaris
looking at you), or build-it-yourself requirements for users (Slackware
et al.).
If you are interested in getting into the RHEL food chain, Jiri Skala's
details can be identified from the info at
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/RedHat (its been a few years,
so I'm not sure if/how he is still involved) and the team packaging for
Fedora can be identified in the Packaging Information linked from
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Fedora.
