I'm part of, for example, cdd, debtags, pkg-italian (for Italians):
they can be added to the list.

I guess such a list would be faily big: in my experience, projects on
Alioth are usually fairly open to non-DD contributions, and Alioth makes
it easily possible.

There are lots such entry points in Debian, but people don't usually
notice them.  I guess it's partly because they are not called "Debian
Something", and in part because in many of them the barrier of entry
gets high in term of competences, since they have a substantial level of
specialisation.


Ciao,
