How do GL-iNet devices become supported by official OpenWrt releases?

And here I was thinking they were the best vendor to go with since they appeared to have wide support (and they are the main results on amazon for openwrt), but if they aren't upstreaming, that's not very helpful. Is there a list of vendors that actually work with and upstream to OpenWRT, instead of just living downstream or having their devices reversed? If I'm going to spend money on a new device I'd like to reward companies who do things the right way.
