[baseline practices] Maintainers

[rxmarbles]

This is in continuation of #119 to keep the discussion focused on one part as we can further flesh out each piece to create a draft proposal around baseline practices.

Maintainers

• proper use of maintainers in package.json
• How to detemine/select maintainers?
• potentially a github md template that requires a PR for code reivew
  • If looking for maintainers possibly adding maintainers wanted badge https://github.com/pickhardt/maintainers-wanted
• Background check (possibly)
• Open source Github app to assist https://probot.github.io/apps/background-check/

If I am missing anything please add a comment and tag me so I can update

We should add “how to move maintainers to emeritus status.. and that’s ok”

I'd like to take first stab at drafting this.

@ahmadnassri would you like to share your thought to start the discussion?

Just noting this down, to not forget - the doc should probably include https://github.com/openjs-foundation/cross-project-council/blob/master/PROJECT_PROGRESSION.md as an option.
