What does "distributed" mean in this context?

> Each queue is implemented using a Redis list.

That seems to imply that queue itself is not distributed.

But maybe "distributed" refers to the fact that workers are running on multiple machines? (Though that is a bit confusing to me; sort of like calling Postgres a distributed database because the clients are on multiple machines.)

Distributed means a central broker (Redis) and many distributed workers (multi-process and multi-machine). It's the term used by Celery/RQ/Huey and others.
