I finally had time to continue Mauro's work on documenting the
multicommitter model.

It is a fairly big overhaul of v5. The most significant change is
that I extended the maintainer profile substantially. A lot of
the committer requirements from the v5 of media-committer.rst were
actually maintainer requirements, so I moved those over to the
maintainer profile.

Patch 1/3 updates maintainer-entry-profile.rst: it introduces the
three Media maintainer levels (Media Maintainer, Media Core Maintainer
and Media Subsystem Maintainer) and what the responsibilities are.

Patch 2/3 adds media-committer.rst: that focusses on the additional
commit rights that can be granted to a Media Maintainer.

Patch 3/3 adds back and updates the list of Media Maintainers that
disappeared in patch 1/3. Please verify this whether the email
addresses are the correct ones, and verify that the areas of responsibility
are correct and that nothing is missing.

It feels much more consistent to me, I'm looking forward to the
review comments.

I have uploaded the documentation with these patches here:
