You are right, "everybody" is for sure too much for this list. As far as
I'm concerned Debian's diversity statement puts it quite well (emphasis
mine):
The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by
everyone.
No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we
welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they
interact *constructively* with our community.
While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we
value and encourage contributions from those with expertise in other
areas, and welcome them into our community.
