Hmmm, I recall that I myself am a MOTU, and I for one have been
contributing to Debian (in a very miniscule way :/) well before I got
into Ubuntu. I cannot speak for my fellow MOTUs, but indeed, I follow
the way of `motu proprio'[0] when it comes to contributing to Debian,
to Ubuntu, and to F/OSS in general, and I also observe that others in
this team feel more or less the same way.
