1. Mention src/MAINTAINERS and how it works.
2. Add a short suggestion about how to identify possible
maintainers, inspired by the committers-guide
3. Tcl has been removed from the base distribution, so it does
not really serve as a good example of contributed software any
more (obsoletes docs/50735)
4. Mention the growing use of FREEBSD-Xlist files for contrib software
5. Describe how vendor imports of Subversion code can be done (inspired
by the Subversion docs of the Wiki).
6. Use slightly more up to date release numbers when describing library
version bumps.
