Clarify the notion of the "Responsible", which was previously present

but undefined: the de facto definition that appears to be in use, and
that I'm assuming still applies, is the following:

  The "Responsible" field identifies a developer who has expressed
  willingness to be responsible for completing the identified task;
  this doesn't preclude others working on it, but suggests that
  coordination with the responsible party might be appropriate so as
  to avoid unnecessary duplication of work, and to maximize forward
  progress.

<p>The task list below is not intended to be complete, but does
represent a set of relevant and/or important components of the
overall work. The "Responsible" field identifies a developer who
has expressed willingness to be responsible for completing the
identified task; this doesn't preclude others working on it,
but suggests that coordination with the responsible party might
be appropriate so as to avoid unnecessary duplication of work,
and to maximize forward progress. If beginning work on a new
area of substantial size, or one that appears unclaimed, it may
be worth dropping an e-mail to the FreeBSD SMP mailing list to
see if any progress has been made.</p>
