Maybe: "New editors wanted"? - we avoid promising some kind of irrevokable privelege, without any kind of threatening undertone.
To most of the English speaking world an "Editor" does something mostly different from what an editor does on Wikipedia. Contributor is the correct word, and is the only description Wikipedians should be using when describing their position with the project to outsiders (the press, for example).
"contributors" or "contributions"?
Ooops, hit send too soon.
"New contribut(ors|ions) wanted" has the unfortunate effect that - to me, at least - it reads somewhat as though we're only looking for new articles, not for new work on existing ones.
