Issue description

There is currently no centralized documentation in dev-ex explaining the Maintainer Retainer Program (MRP), its purpose, or the distinction between Core Maintainers and Community Maintainers.

Intersect OSO requested a reusable documentation draft to be reviewed in dev-ex before extending similar content to MRP-supported project repositories.

Proposed change

Add a new documentation file under a dedicated docs folder (e.g. docs/maintainer-retainer/maintainer-retainer.md) that includes:

  • A brief overview of the Maintainer Retainer Program
  • Definition of Core Maintainers
  • Definition of Community Maintainers
  • A link to the official OSC / Intersect MRP page as the source of truth
  • Guidance that individual maintainer names should be managed externally (via OSC) to avoid stale repository documentation
