Make mhamda a CDot backend maintainer

Mohamed Hamda requested to merge mhamda-cdot-maintainer into master

Manager Justification

It's hard to specify hard requirements for becoming a maintainer, which is why the documentation consists of flexible guidelines. Reviewers are encouraged to think of their eligibility for maintainership in the terms of "I could be ready at any time to be a maintainer as long as my work as an author and reviewer is consistent with other maintainers".

  • The MRs reviewed by the candidate consistently make it through maintainer review without significant additionally required changes.
  • The MRs authored by the candidate consistently make it through reviewer and maintainer review without significant required changes.

@mhamda has worked with existing Customers Dot backend maintainers to expand his skills to the level needed to provide consistent excellent reviews for the Customers Dot application. Mohamed demonstrates good domain knowledge of the customer's dot application and is already a maintainer for ~database part of the application.
