Addressed this and the other editorial changes.

Yes, having driver maintainers being committers and sending PRs is what we
expect to happen first.

For mid/long-term, once driver maintainers get in board, we may also have
other committers for the drivers whose maintainer is also a committer.

Now, having committers for drivers whose maintainer is not a committer
doesn't sound a good idea, except if such committer is doing just
janitorial work and gets A-B/R-B from the driver maintainer on all
patches he merges.

Thanks,
Mauro
