documentation: Add a contributing & maintainers file
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Per our devcall last week.  Adding now mainly so we can start pointing
LogAnalyzer fixes to @chapman and quickly get them into master.

@tridge & @randy - I kinda guessed at the maintainers list, we can
update later as needed.
