Update somewhat stale and occasionally over-colloquial website guidance on

Description

Update somewhat stale and occasionally over-colloquial website guidance on
new committer proposals to:

  • Provide more details on the contents of a suitable proposal, including a request for evidence of constructive engagement with the mentor (e.g., through successfully completed patch cycles).
  • Be more overt about identifying community participation (but also more open about what it means -- mention BSD-conference talks, for example).
  • Suggest contacing core@ informally first if there are worries about whether there is sufficient contribution or concern about a proposal failing.
  • Expand thinking on 'vendor commit bits' -- both the responsibilities of the mentor, and also the hope that such contributors will broaden their interests over time.
