Overview

Adds a few high-level notes on maintenance:

  • It keeps the existing casual tone that this isn't a corporate role. Folks can contribute on their own schedule.
  • Adds a expected average activity levels: a few contributions of any kind a week, and one non-trivial one a week
    • Explicitly calls out that these are averages over time, not expected for every week
    • Also notes allowances for skipping weeks and even months
  • Establishes timeframes for inactivity, leaving maintenance, and coming back
    • To make this timeline more clear, I added a note on taking a month for important decisions (which I think implicitly includes clearing inactive maintainers)
