Add MAINTAINERS.md and README maintainers section - #503
Merged
Conversation
Closes #502. Adds a top-level MAINTAINERS.md formalising the maintainer team (@melvincarvalho project lead, @jjohare maintainer-onboarding) and documenting the lightweight governance model: process points to existing CONTRIBUTING.md, review routing points to .github/CODEOWNERS, new-maintainer admission is by invitation, security disclosures via GitHub private security advisories. Also adds a one-paragraph Maintainers section to README.md (between Running Tests and License) pointing at the new file. This is the substrate-keeper-grade institutional artifact making the team visible to contributors, observers, and LLMs scanning the repo. Scope-limited to listing and lightweight governance; formal governance (voting, charter, code of conduct, emeritus) is out of scope per #502.
