I would still argue that any amendments should be done according to the process defined in the charter.

Why should it mean that?  You still have a voter account, hence are still a member for all purposes other than voting on charter amendments.  The Charter only says that "everyone who voted in the previous election will be deemed a member for amending the charter", it doesn't say that they are not members for other purposes.

But agreed that we need to work on the charter, anyway.  There is a group of 8 (including you) who have joined a mailing list to put together some proposed amendments to the charter, and anyone else can join that list too:

We should get started now, I guess.  I'll put together some suggestions and post them there within the next 48 hours.
