Add Dewey Dunnington to core developers

@hadley
I emailed you about this a while ago because GOVERNANCE.md says I should do so, but it seems you are too busy to reply. So, I'm opening this issue. Sorry if it's not the right place to discuss here...

@paleolimbot made a considerable amount of contributions. I guess we, existing ggplot2 core developers, all agree he deserves the ggplot2 core developer. Actually, it seems he already has the same permissions (to approve and merge PRs) as a core developer. I'm not sure if he is already approved as a core developer, but, in any case, I believe his name should be officially added to authors in DESCRIPTION and GOVERNMENT.md.

Sounds good to me.

Thanks @yutannihilation for the nomination! I believe I was given push access over the summer because it was somehow tied to the ability to add labels to issues...I only reviewed a few simple tidy-dev-day PRs. If it's the consensus of the rest of you (with no worries either way) I would be honoured to be listed as a core developer. Either way I look forward to being a more active contributor when I'm trying to finish my Ph.D.!

Thanks for the detail, I got it! It's reasonable that the project lead needs to give a temporary permission to non-core developers in such cases. Probably, it should be written on GOVERNANCE.md to avoid confusion.

Anyway, I would be happy to propose adding you to the core team. @hadley, could you handle the confirmation process? I think we can either continue discussing here casually or move to emails.

Any existing core developer can propose a contributor be invited to the core team by emailing the project lead. The project lead will the confirm the invitation with the other core developers. (https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#core-developers)

Sorry for dropping the ball on this. I think we can treat this issue as confirmation from the other active core developers. @paleolimbot can you please make a PR that adds yourself to the governance file and closes this issue.
