It is quite possible for someone to find another way to contribute without having developer status, a necessary role that they find to be their niche. Bonsaikitten is one such person, he was forcibly retired about 2 years ago but is a positive contributor via Gentoo ops.

Not only via Gentoo ops, but also by being the second-largest
contributor of infrastructure (after gentoo's Infra ;) for devs and
non-devs alike. His hardware currently hosts a number of things such
as pkgcore.org, dev.gentooexperimental.org (used for various
gentoo-related experiments), and soc.gentooexperimental.org
(gentoo-soc project management).
