It's not only contributing but also using. It's almost more important IMO 
(especially since more users mean more contributors).

Well, as you pointed out the build part is not more painful with proper tools 
(and kdesrc-build is getting quite good there). As for the debugging... well 
you have already quite some repositories today, I don't think it's making it 
worse (I doubt we want everything in a single repository just to be able to 
git bisect anyway :-)).
