Add MAINTAINING.md for maintainers' guide.

Some of the contents are coming from the email content when we're inviting maintainers, regarding the benefits, expectation and responsibilities.

Should we also create loopback-next/MAINTAINERS to list current maintainers?

@raymondfeng , similar to https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/deps/uv/MAINTAINERS.md? Are you referring to adding another file or merge the 2 content into one file?

Yes, as two separate files. MAINTAINERS is only in the github repo.

Added the list of maintainers in the last commit. However, I have a question. Looking at the members in https://github.com/orgs/strongloop/teams/loopback-maintainers/members:

  • not all the core maintainers are there
  • I don't recall we've invited some community maintainers to be LB4 maintainers.

The description of this github team seems to meant to be for LB4 maintainers. @bajtos, maybe you have more info on that? Thanks.

take a look at issues and pull requests related to code you contributed
yourself.

If someone has a question that isn't covered here, should we also include something like "If you have more questions, feel free to reach out by * insert way for them to reach us *"? Also, how do non-IBM maintainers communicate with the team outside GitHub issues/PRs?

That's a good question! I guess the simplest way is to create a github issue. Another way is to email the maintainers (email might be found in some of our github profiles), but I'd rather not encouraging people to email us. :)

@strongloop/loopback-maintainers, any suggestions?

FWIW, GitHub offers teams a place for private discussions, see e.g. here: https://github.com/orgs/strongloop/teams/loopback-maintainers/discussions

I am not sure how do notifications work for discussions, using GitHub issues may be a safer way.

Maybe we should divide the list into IBMers and community members. Or mark us as IBMers.

How about core maintainers and community maintainers that are used somewhere else in the docs? e.g. https://loopback.io/doc/en/contrib/Governance.html.

- Greater influence on LoopBack's future direction
- Commit (write) rights to `loopback-next` repo
- Ability to review and land pull requests, edit/categorize/close issues
- Access to a private Gitter room for LoopBack maintainers

Actually, I meant to remove it. Thanks for catching that.

I remember we have an issue for people to apply to be a maintainer, maybe we can also link that issue here?

@jannyHou , you mean this one? #943. This is more about the criteria to be a maintainer. :)

This file seems to duplicate the content in our README, see https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next#team

@dhmlau Please find a way how to have a single place listing the maintainers.
