[PATCH v2 0/2] Document the new media-committer's model

The media subsystem used to have a multi-commiter's model in the
past, but things didn't go well on that time, and we had to move to
a centralized model.

As the community has evolved, and as there are now new policies in
place like CoC, let's experiment with a multi-committers again.

The model we're using was inspired by the DRM multi-committers
model. Yet, media subsystem is different on several aspects, so the
model is not exactly the same.

The implementation will be in phases. For this phase, the goal is that
all committers will be people listed at MAINTAINERS.

On this series,:

patch 1: updates the media maintainer's entry profile and adds the
workflow that will be used with the new model. While here, it also
adds a missing "P:" tag at the MAINTAINERS file, pointing to it;

patch 2: adds a new document focused at the new maintainers
process. Its target is for developers that will be granted with
commit rights at the new media-maintainers.git tree. It also
contains a reference tag addition to kernel.org PGP chain
at process/maintainer-pgp-guide.rst.

v2: I tried to address most of the suggestions where there was an agreement
from Laurent's review and further comments. As there were several changes,
on separate threads, I could have missed something.
