(Get the code!)
Daniel,
For me it is very clear. I don't need the bug report.
But other members of the community (members by virtue of their frequent participation to ubuntu mailing lists) and who (probably) don't have a Launchpad account have found it unclear. My PoV is that they are nitpicking on the semantics of the word "user" and "contributor".
I don't want to repeat the whole discussion from the mailinglist on Launchpad.
Alan Pope wrote that the best course of action was to file a bug report, so I did on behalf of of the users who don't know how (or don't want) to create a Launchpad account.
I have a constructive suggestion. Why not add two things to the Etiquette or the CoC:
1) as soon as someone participates in one of the official Ubuntu communication platforms (mailing lists, forum, irc,...), he or she is automatically a member of the Ubuntu community. Participation can be described as sending a message to any such official communication platforms.
2) the Etiquette explicitly applies to all users: regular users as well as developers, translators, or other contributors. Every user will be treated equal; being an official Ubuntu Member does not give anyone more or less rights to participate in the community.
This is just a proposal, I suggest that someone who is better with words rephrases this.
