I'm quite shocked to hear this, tbh.
Creating accounts in LDAP for DMs (or even "simple" contributors without
any specific status in our systems) is perfectly fine and is being done
any day. Even I had access to qa.d.o and other machines even before
being a DD.
This shouldn't block this application in any way, but I would like this
to be clear: being a DD is not a prerequise to contribute to nearly
anything, so please do point me to the specifics of this case and clear
this situation.
