That's total bullshit. If they would really care about joining, they could simply start to read the documentation, which explicitly shows them how to understand the term maintainer and/or developer. And anyway, it's not like people who should consider to join have nothing to do with Debian and don't know the particularities of its culture - even if this is unclear to people who are new to Debian, it should be no problem for an active contributor.
