True, it helps if you can actively develop the app. But without programming skills you can make a difference by going through the bugs and triaging - there are 35 open bugs mostly in the UNCONFIRMED state, at bugs.kde.org, and also by building the most recent kde 4 version (kmid seems to be minimally ported, now it has been move to extragear/multimedia) and looking for porting mistakes. Even some non-developers have been known to become developers by trying stuff out, learning how to revert individual commits that might cause a problem, then eventually seeing how it works and trying their own changes.
