Could you explain what "developer" means in this context?

There is no need for you to get away of your usually courteous answers. I 
am disappointed. Could you give me a serious answer? Maybe if all this 
was documented somewhere there would be a smaller chance of 
misunderstandings like this one. 

I can volunteer to write down what I find out and submit it for storage 
with the rest of Debian documentation. If no time to write it was the 
problem, I can help.

Thank you,
