If you feel that you can't contribute to Debian in a meaningful way if you 
don't have an @debian.org account, that's your problem.

Obviously, having an account makes it easier to upload packages and do some 
(few) other things, and obivously, having -private access and vote 
privileges is a part of being in the Debian crew, but these things don't 
prevent you from working on Debian.

In my case, having now received my account, it won't change much in the way 
I contribute to Debian - I'll go on as before except that I now have to ask 
twice as nicely for somebody to look over my packages because I don't have 
the excuse of not being able to upload ;-)
