Yeah, the relationship is indeed confusing.
The OpengGeo suite bundles GeoServer, but it's not the "normal" one that
the geoserver.org community produces.
It has a different theme, and a set of plugins that are either missing from
the normal GeoServer, or that are considered
community (unsupported) modules in GeoServer, but are supported ones in the
suite (and possibly vice-versa, not sure).

The relationship between the suite and GeoServer is sort of one way,
Boundless contributes to the development of
GeoServer (and we are grateful for that), but the suite, besides being open
source from the licensing stand-point,
provides no way for others to get engaged and contribute (no mailing lists,
no formalized way to contribute changes
and/or discuss them): let's say, open source but closed project management,
it's really a company product instead of an open project like GeoServer.

This is why we normally don't give support for the GeoServer bundled in the
suite in this mailing list, but prefer to get reports
about the official version geoserver.org releases instead (since we can
know for sure what's in them).

The qgis plugin is managed the same way as the rest of the suite, hopefully
someone from Boundless will
chime in and provide some idea, but I hear their preferred support channel
is stackexchange using
the #boundless tag... and oh! I was about to give the link, and I see you
already asked there too:
