In the Constitution, "Debian [Project] Member" is used as a synonym of
"Debian Developer". Hence it doesn't include Debian Maintainers. We
discussed this when we generalized project membership to non-uploading
(an unfortunate name in itself). The only more generic thing that we
have historically used is "Debian Contributors", which is not formalized
anywhere AFAIK, but is used in a bunch of official services, e.g.,
https://contributors.debian.org .
