At first I thought contributors should have a say (rather than
Registered Members™).

I'm gonna take that classification for a spin.

Looking at Debian, I am not really interested in that, nor do I
consider myself a member of any of its groups, subsequently I am not
a DD. Yet, I seem to contribute to it resp. its packages, though I
don't think I should be eligible for any decision making such as on
the DD level.

What class am I thus in?
