Bevy People should be considered the source of truth for Bevy Organization roles. This replaces inline lists of maintainers and SMEs with links to Bevy People.
We are in the process of rolling out a new Bevy Organization role! (Subject Matter Expert)
This adds a new "The Bevy Organization" document and links to it from CONTRIBUTING.md. This doc describes how the Bevy Organization will work going forward. It outlines the functionality of each role, as well as the expectations we have for them. The previously existing roles (Project Lead, Maintainer) still work the same way, but their definition and scope have been made much clearer.
Tomorrow we will be announcing this publicly in a blog post. This will describe the motivation and announce the first round of SMEs . But before that it makes sense to do a quick review round first.
Given the quick turnaround on this PR, this isn't the best platform to discuss changes to the SME system (or its validity). After you have read the announcement tomorrow, feel free to start discussions wherever is preferable to you (this repo, discord, etc). So for now, please just review for clarity / typos / phrasing / missed info / etc.
