my concern is that if it says that all KDE contributors can write to it, it 
can be interpreted as being enough to simply be able to open an account there.

iow, this makes github a valid place to put your code (well, if we ignore 
their odd push-request driven workflow). any KDE contributor can get an account 
there after all.

imho the purpose of this particular requirement is so that anyone with a KDE 
membership in hand can immediately trot over to project X and start 
contributing. it is about keeping the contribution barrier low and the shared 
ownership high.
