as follows:

RELENG_3 no longer a noteworthy tag.

Refer to repository meisters and SO team more consistently, less
dependence on individuals.

Don't refer to core as "we".

Comment to help out doc translation teams.

Move myself to RE team and consolidate "Who's Who" listings accordingly.

Security branch changes need to be approved by SO or RE teams.

Add mentions of developers list, where appropriate.

81620407d5 Insert a new section in the Committer's Guide entitled "Commit Bit Types" 
which discusses the notion of areas of authority for the CVS repository,
the parties responsible for each area and allocating commit rights for it,
and general practices for expanding the scope of a commit bit to new
areas of the tree.  Throw in some text reminding everyone that review
of source code is always a good idea.
