I do not think so. Staffer can be designer, doc translator etc. Ebuild
maintainance requires programming skill(at basic level, yes, but still).
That's consistent terminology in Gentoo development, that existed for
years, and i do not see some obvious reason to change it.
'staffer' do not have access to gx-86, 'developer' has.
Regarding distribution itself(as we know, base for Gentoo is a set of
ebuilds, called portage tree, that contains in gx86) it is quite right
terminology.
