Document what it means to be a maintainer

[lopopolo]

In addition to myself, the @artichoke organization has several other members with commit rights that are part of the @artichoke/contributors group.

Add docs that outline this role, how to be granted it, and what it means to hold this role.

Some random thoughts:

• Continual contribution to the project - be it in commits, reviews, issues, social (discord).
• Contributes in decisions to structural changes in the project w.r.t creation/addition of new packages, contributing guidelines, code of conduct (if there is one formed for example)
• Protects the maintainability of the project - specifically w.r.t ensuring code reviews are good, helping others to contribute, etc?

I have the thought of "being available for brainstorming" or something to that degree.

Some other thoughts we discussed on Discord:

• What a maintainer doesn't stop you from doing?
• @lopopolo to grant maintainers group commit access to project-infrastructure (this bit of config is probably a bit stale and should be audited)
• part of this should probably be documenting the things that only @lopopolo has perms to do (GH Admin, other GH orgs, npm scope, crate publishing, AWS, domain registrations/DNS)

The code for granting the maintainers group commit access to repos is here:

project-infrastructure/github-org-artichoke/main.tf

Lines 106 to 131 in ddcd264

	resource "github_team_repository" "contributor_repos" {
	for_each = toset([
	"artichoke",
	"boba",
	"cactusref",
	"clang-format",
	"focaccia",
	"intaglio",
	"jasper",
	"mspec",
	"playground",
	"qed",
	"rand_mt",
	"raw-parts",
	"roe",
	"ruby",
	"ruby-file-expand-path",
	"spec",
	"strftime-ruby",
	"strudel",
	])
	team_id = module.team_contributors.team_id
	repository = each.value
	permission = "push"
	}

I like and find the "Artichoke shouldn't be a maintainers sole contribution project etc" example provided in the thread makes this point clear 👍
