Yes, you are a member. I just checked and you are indeed listed as a member.
About the VCS issue, it is likely to be a configuration issue on your
side.

ssh git.debian.org

Don't worry, we, sponsors, are not trying to steal your credits.
The place which matters (and which is shown) is the uploaders.

Well, it is not the way most teams work in Debian. If I have to "fight"
