Personally I think Mer should be listed but not Maemo since it is
essentially a dead end and will not be developed further. A separate
page/section could be added for prominent distros that are no longer
developed.
I'd suggest any census be co-ordinated with the press team so it gets
wider coverage in the tech media (slashdot, LWN etc).
There are a few wiki pages with lists of derivative distros and deb
repositories:

http://wiki.debian.org/CommercialDebianDistros
