Hard to say for all of them!

Here's some pointers to get you started:

Ubuntu GNOME packagers: Robert Ancell, Seb Bacher
Distribution manager: Rick Spencer
CTO: Matt Zimmermann

Fedora Project leader: Jared Smith, formerly Paul Frields

Red Hat: Best person to get pointed in the right direction would be
Jonathan Blandford. I think Matthias Clasen's taking a lot of the
management role for the desktop team on now?

Debian GNOME packager: Josselin Mouette

Suse Linux/OpenSuse: I guess we still can't do much better than Vincent
Untz for directions to who we should talk to.

What other distros are you interested in?

Cheers,
Dave.
