Totally agree with the author here. Being primarily an Android developer I hate when I need to get access to a Mac to anything iOS related. Phonegap Build solves this problem. I work for avocarrot.com and I managed to do a Phonegap wrapper of our iOS SDK with the build service only using my linux machine.. Pretty awesome!
After you added your app on itunesconnect you can upload the binary. You need "application loader" for that. I haven't found another way, but would be very pleased if there is one.

If you want to install the phonegap app on your ios device for tests and later publish to the app store you still need a mac.

Yup, sorry you are right. I've heard of people using a service like http://www.appstoreuploader.com but I haven't personally.
Sure, let's give out your iTunesConnect password, what could go wrong?
It still requires a certain degree of trust, but you can setup multiple users within iTunes connect with tuned permissions for exactly these cases.
Well, I saw some people creating the certificate with openssl on windows, you should in theory be able to use this for device testing
