Sure it can. It depends on what they're doing. You don't have to be
a good shell programmer to work on the web pages, close bugs, write
man pages for GNU tools :>, etc, and not knowing how to write good
shell scripts is not IMO a good reason for exclusion *as long as* it's
coupled with a healthy understanding of your limitations, and a
willingness to ask questions on debian-mentor, debian-devel, or
wherever. Granted, that may be a tall order, but it is possible.

Absolutely.
