 I'm hereby introducing two changes:
 
 a) dropping the name Debian Contributor

 b) fixing punctuation as suggested by Kumar Appaiah [1], thanks!
(attachment 0002-Add-punctuation-and-fix-some-pronouns.patch)
 
 The text applying both patches is attached as well (attachment
 debian-contributors.txt). Everything has been pushed to [2].
 
 I believe (b) falls for sure under §A.1.6.
 
 I believe that also (a) falls under §A.1.6, but it's your call.
 *If* you disagree with that interpretation, I hereby formally introduce
 it as an amendment and, as the GR proposer, I hereby also accept it.

I believe the text has the same intentions as the orignal, but
that it does alter the meaning.  Which means I'm resetting the
discussion period.

It would be nice that people could confirm that they have
no problem with this changed text so that there is no doubt that
this text has enough seconds.

 The Debian project aims at producing the best free operating system.
 To that end, the project benefits from various types of contributions,
 including, but not limited to: package maintenance, translations,
 infrastructure and website maintenance, porting, bug triaging and
 fixing, management activities, communication, testing, legal advice,
 quality assurance, etc.
 
 The Debian project acknowledges that:
 
 * To pursue Debian goals, package maintenance as well as a wide range of
   other technical and non-technical contributions are all valuable.
 
 * Active contributors of non-packaging work, who share Debian values
   and are ready to uphold Debian Foundation Documents, deserve the
   opportunity to become Debian Developers.
 
 The Debian project, therefore, invites the Debian Account Managers to:
 
 * Endorse the idea that contributors of non-packaging work might become
   Debian Developers, albeit without upload access to the Debian archive.
 
 * Establish procedures to evaluate and accept contributors of
   non-packaging work as Debian Developers.
 
 * Initiate the appropriate technical measures to enable contributors of
   non-packaging work, which get accepted as Debian Developers, to
   participate in Debian decision making and to access Debian
   infrastructure. 

Seconded.
