Am i the only one who is bothered by this? Its understandable for commercial projects, but i can’t imagine what a manager for an open source community is doing.
Manager and community manager are very different roles. A community manager is anyone who manages the community through interaction. That can mean writing news posts, writing release notes, publishing a roadmap, responding to user questions on forums or IRC, moderating, and more. I can easily see how a Linux distribution could use two part time people to do all of those things.

Not sure why you think this is problematic. The concept of forum moderators, though not quite the same, has been around since forever.
