[PATCH v3 0/1] update MAINTAINERS file with git trailers

Some private chats highlighted that the currently in use git trailers
aren't explained well enough. This patch aims to fix that by adding the
information in a more verbose way to guarantee that everyone is on the
same page about them and refine anything that might still need work.

The first (and second) version of this update didn't get much traction, so I decided
to add every active global maintainer as CC, since everyone is affected
by this and I want some consensus before comitting.

Right now there is one big unanswered question: Should we have a
specific tag to explicitly signal when a patch has been partially
approved? Eli asked for it to avoid people mechanically reading tags
from thinking that a patch has been fully approved when it was only
partial. If we agree that there should be one, what would it look like?
I suggested using Acked-By, but Simon uses it differently, and I opted
to keep his usage of it.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
