The developers associated with a software project, usually an open source application.
The idea is that software streams from developers, to package maintainers and then to users. When reporting a bug "upstream", it's reported from users to maintainers/developers or from maintainers to developers.

We go to great lengths to make those patches widely available, in an easy to find format, so that they will be useful to upstreams, and other distributions. That benefits Debian, but it also benefits Suse and Redhat, if any of them are willing to take the time to study and apply the patches.
We synchronise our development with upstream, and with Debian, and with other distributions such as Suse and Gentoo and Mandrake and Red Hat, on a regular basis. We draw code from the latest upstream projects (which might not even be in Debian, or in Red Hat, or addressed in the LSB).
