pkgsrc/doc/guide: Restate MAINTAINER/OWNER protocol
Acting for PMC, restate the guidelines for MAINTAINER and OWNER. This
is intended to capture what we think has been viewed by us and others
as good practice, even though some of it was not manifest in the text
before. Compared to before:
Strengthen the notion that MAINTAINER should be consulted for more
than micro updates. The old text, for whatever reason, didn't say
that. Document the reciprocal obligation that MAINTAINER should
respond reasonably promptly.
State that OWNER is used in relatively rare circumstances. Document
reciprocal obligations for OWNER that are much stronger than
MAINTAINER's reciprocal obligations.
