Sorry, no. A software developer is someone designs, writes, or fixes software.
There are many other ways to contribute, as you point out. But Roy wasn't a developer on
OpenSolaris, and the correction I made stands.

The article refers to opensolaris developers. From a project perspective, this doesn't confine
to just software developers but everybody involved in the project. Package maintainers
wouldn't necessarily count as developers possibly by using a strict definition since their
primary task isn't designing or writing software but they are widely regarded as such and term
is used more loosely. You view point seems different.
