Yes, the string in question is correct. Thank-you for taking the time to search for it in the source. It is difficult to cut-and-paste or return to it once you are installed, and have access to launchpad. Maybe I should make more use of pen and paper :-) :-)

Am I correct then, in believing that the Kubuntu community is no longer one of the greatest teams in the open source community, but was one in the past.

If the team wishes rather, to be modest, I suggest stongly the following phrase is used instead.

"..of individuals who make up one of the great teams in the open source community.."

The two changes "made-->make" and "greatest->>great" seems to me to be less of a sign of defeat, than the current wording implies. It will become a statement which cannot reasonably be questioned by any other external party.

If there is some other hidden internal reason for the wording remaining as-is, I will have to be reconciled with the wording, but it will be with some decreasing pride in the current health of the Kubuntu open-source project I use, and have advocated for many years. I have always thought it was a typo, which was inadvertently made, and would someday be rectified with a chuckle when someone at Kubuntu noticed it.

Best no-bug wishes
