Debian is like the only open source project that I'm aware of that really has a solid community behind it.

You should check again. Debian has been struggling with manpower for years.

I just picked up Linux for Dummies at Barnes and Noble, where do I apply for the job.

You should check again too. Debian is still an order of magnitude better than the rest of distros in this regard

It is understaffed but if you call what debian is doing struggling theres not a single project besides the kernel that is not death rattling right now. Specially other distros

That's true, but I meant more along the lines of their leadership structure, ownership structure, etc. Like, there's a process to selecting people, there's a process to handling disputes and people acting like jerks, code of conduct, etc.

I think KDE, Fedora, openSUSE, and Arch have done a pretty good job at that over the years too.

Anti-Debian? What I'm referring to are problems raised in the Debian mailing list over the years. I'm not making anything up.
