if (person is developer) {
probably competent
} else {
no idea.
}
Do you see the difference? Nowhere was it said that non-developers are
incompetent. It was said that Debian has no idea how competent they are.

If you have a fix, you can submit it to the Debian BTS. If the
maintainer is active, he will notice and pick it up, and upload a fixed
package. If he is not, someone (from QA, or from -bugs-dist) will
notice, and NMU.
As for new packages, anyone is free to set up a private repository.
