Add skeleton for maintainer and contributor guidebooks
This is some initial work to get a contributor and maintainer's guide added to the community repo. The goal of this work is to collect a lot of the implicit knowledge that exists in the community on how to get started as a contributor or maintainer, and preserve it for new contributors/maintainers, as well as to clarify shared expectations about these roles.
h/t to the Kubernetes project for their work here, as I've borrowed heavily from their community guides to make this PR.
This PR is really intended to get the process started -- I don't want to necessarily block on stuff like 'where do I put
I've added a bit more here and I think I've consolidated all of the existing contributor guide stuff over into the new structure, PTAL. There's some broken links still I believe.
@tiffany76 @theletterf please take a look into this draft of a guide, let us know where it helps you to answer some of your questions and what might be missing (which does not need to be addressed in this PR)

@svrnm LGTM! I didn't notice any gaps from my current perspective, but as I spend more time in my role, I'll make note of issues that are not addressed here. Thanks.
All, I suggest we merge this and turn the remaining comments into follow up issues. The goal was to create a "skeleton", so this does not have to be feature perfect.
