It is all about removing potential confusion and sending clear messages.

*re: user*
A user benefits from the contributions. He/she or them (the organisation)
can happily do so without ever interacting with a projects community. They
may even be a subscriber to any or all mailing lists of the ASF without
ever posting anything to a mailing list. They may also enhance the works of
a project without sharing it with the project. Hence the part about users
contributing should removed from the definition.

*re: developer*
The main part of the description ( ... who contributes to a project in the
form of code or documentation) reads as contributors to the works of the
project. As such a developer defines a subset of the contributors
definition. In the existing description any person involved in furthering
the project in other ways (e.g. promotions, community development) is
negated.
