Add governance/maintainers doc and a contributor-recognition process #44

Description

@nojibe

Problem

CONTRIBUTORS.md contains a single name and there's no documented governance: who the maintainers are, how decisions get made, how someone becomes a maintainer, and how the public blueprint repository is curated. For a project explicitly aiming to be "community-driven," this is a notable maturity gap.

Proposed change

  • Add a GOVERNANCE.md (or a Governance section in a MAINTAINERS.md) describing: current maintainers, decision-making model, how to escalate, and release/curation responsibilities
  • Establish a lightweight, repeatable way to keep CONTRIBUTORS.md current (e.g. all-contributors bot, or a documented manual policy)
  • Clarify how community-submitted blueprints are reviewed and accepted (ties into the blueprint-proposal issue template)

Acceptance criteria

  • Governance/maintainers doc exists and lists real maintainers
  • Contributor-recognition process is documented and reproducible
  • Blueprint curation/review process is written down
