docs: maintainer: document expectations of small time maintainers
We appear to have a gap in our process docs. We go into detail
on how to contribute code to the kernel, and how to be a subsystem
maintainer. I can't find any docs directed towards the thousands
of small scale maintainers, like folks maintaining a single driver
or a single network protocol.
Document our expectations and best practices. I'm hoping this doc
will be particularly useful to set expectations with HW vendors.
