Add three new contributor ladder tiers to the governance document: member, reviewer and committer. All existing maintainers are listed as committers in MAINTAINERS.md.

This was drafted using Opus 4.6 and with https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/participate/roles-and-responsibilities/ & https://github.com/containerd/.project/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md as examples. Iterated a bit to make sure Opus did not rewrite everything and just added the relevant sections.

DRAFT while we discuss

Add three new contributor ladder tiers to the governance document:
member, reviewer and committer. All existing maintainers are listed
as committers in MAINTAINERS.md. The existing Maintainers, Becoming
a Maintainer and Removing a Maintainer sections are unchanged.

But this file got copied into https://github.com/bootc-dev/community/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md - see my concern in bootc-dev/community#1 (comment)

I think we want this to apply to all repos in the org, right? So we should do this change in the community repo, and then fix all the other repos to point to it

Reading everything over I think I agree based on current repos in the org. We can probably do a blanket policy for the org that applies to all repos. The mechanism for doing it I'm not sure on.

This is the way to go have relevant files like MAINTAINERS.md & GOVERNANCE.md etc. but these files under the repo should have only one line which points to the community repo which contains the MAINTAINERS.md
