They fund one full time employee to work on it. CodeWeavers has been at it as a whole company since the inception.
„Steam bad because Valve is very consciously doing everything to make an impression that Valve is behind most of advancements in Linux gaming”.
Valve is literally bankrolling it, and putting all their chips behind it, which is pushing it forward much more then it had been.
You're making a problem where there isn't one, enjoy the fruits of their labor.
All their chips behind would likely be enough to employ thousands of Linux devs with money left to spare for a couple of megayachts still.
I dont know much about this situation, do you have source where I could read more about what valve has or hasnt contributed, and them only employing one person to work on proton?
