Add guidance for new joiners to reach out to staff appsec engineers

Vitor Meireles De Sousa requested to merge vm-staff-guidance-for-newjoiners into master

Why is this change being made?

This MR is adding a suggestion for new joiners to reach out to Staff appsec engineer(s) if needed, rather that the whole team.

We are trying this as we will see how it goes when we do retire Staff appsec engineer(s) from all rotations.

The objective of doing it this way is that the Staff still keeps in touch with rotations, even if he doesn't do it anymore.
