You can have a look at the reports I publish concerning the work
done by paid contributors and how the funding is evolving currently:

We also have some companies allowing some of their employees to contribute
to Debian LTS.

The start of Wheezy LTS will be one year after the release of Jessie so we

But barring any big change (like most sponsors not renewing their 1 year
committment) we're definitely headed in the direction of making Wheezy a
LTS release too.
