Lets not forget that there are Debian, gentoo, *BSD and other developers
contributing to upstream too, once we get into the
lets-not-forget-other-distros-mode.

Apart from that, this is indeed not the best place to ask for the best/easiest
distro to use as -- beside the bikeshedding and flamewar potential because of
personal priorities -- all paid developers have their loyality tied to the
product of their employer in some loose or tight fashion.

As we all get LibreOffice build on our distros, there really is no specially
suited distro for building LibreOffice and your choice should be based on your
prefered desktop environment, package management, installer experience etc.
All of that would be offtopic here ;)

Best,
