I think the majority of packagers & maintainers (for Mer, Sailfish, MeeGo Harmattan, Maemo 4 & 5, Debian, Open Suse, etc) are also developers.

Many softwares from, e.g., OpenSuse, Debian, Ubuntu, need modifications to compile and package for Mer & Sailfish, MeeGo Harmattan, etc. All of them need modifications at least in files .spec, control, rules, etc. Some of them modifications in shell, Python, C/C++ source code, i.e., to modify you need to understand it, so you need to be a developer in multiple programming languages.
