Subject: [PATCH] Policies: Document policy on maintainer-requested removals

Under the current removal policy, maintainers can only request removal
through Mozilla Legal or by introducing a deliberate Code of  Conduct
violation.  This is not a desirable situation, so this change adds
some language which suggest contacting help@crates.io.
