Great!

Correct: You need no formal membership of Debian to contribute.

At a minimum you can propose patches by email. Slightly easier (for us 
to handle, but slightly more cumbersome for you) is if those emails are 
bugreports that you file.  Most convenient and fun - both for us and and 
you - is that you a) subscribe to our mailinglist and b) join our team 
by creating an account at Alioth and request membership to our Alioth 
group. Basically that grants you write access to our git.

Ah, you are involved in Yunohost. Cool!

Here are some pointers to get you started: 
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sympa/ 
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/FAQ 
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH#Logging_in_for_the_first_time 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sympa-devel 
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sympa 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sympa.git

(hmm, which reveals: We really could use a nice wiki intro page for our 
team at the Debian wiki...)

NB! Don't try make sense of Alioth web interface - use it *only* to 
become member of our team, and then avoid it as much as possible, 
instead using the alternative debian subdomains wiki, anonscm, lists!

> But I'm off topic.

Don't worry about that :-)
