Update contributing guide to add Subversion like policy

Laurence Urhegyi requested to merge laurence/update-policies into master

Description

As per this email to the list, this MR introduces a policy for granting commit access which closely resembles the Subversion policy.

Not every aspect of the Subversion policy has been included, as I feel lots of it isn't relevant to us.

Changes proposed in this merge request:

  • Removes the text about the policy for granting committer access to anyone with a single patch
  • Introduces a policy closely resembling the Subversion policy
  • Removes the MAINTAINER file, in line with the above
  • Adds a COMMITTERS file, in line with the above
  • Removes references to trunk based development, since the project is not following that methodology

This merge request, when merged, will address issue/bug:

Sorry, no issue raised in advance, I forgot.
