4fb1aafd06 New committers' help for Coverity Prevent. 
New committers to FreeBSD may be interested about Coverity
Prevent, but it is not very easy to find out how they register,
what license terms Coverity Prevent SQS is available under, and
how they can use the web interface of the automated analysis
runs.

9c7740b287 Generalize this article to include information about developers who are 
not committers, since only a subset of the information here applies to them.

To date, this has only included people who have been given GNATS access
without a commit bit.

The refactoring of the text is admittedly awkward, but anything else
would probably be a significant rewrite.

be122238a0 Describe and recommend the use of the LATEST_LINK variable in 
the Committer's Guide ports repo-copy section and in the package naming
section of the Porter's Handbook.  In the end, I wrote something that
turned out quite a bit different and somewhat more long-winded than
the suggestions in the PR, but LATEST_LINK was not documented anywhere
until now, so there :)

2e07ac4645 Remove redundant and outdated information from the "Who's Who" section. 
There's some useful stuff left in this section still, but we should
seriously consider removing it altogether and moving the important
bits somewhere else, since maintaining redundant information like
this isn't really constructive work.

179b5db8d8 - A ports freeze is not a ports lock for tagging, so it takes 
a bit more than "an hour or two".
- The explenation of what needs approval and what not, during
  a freeze was ambiguous, so clarify that all patches need
  approval during a freeze.
While here:
- Add some links to the Portmgr Quality Assurance page.
- Use "the ports management team" instead of "the ports
  manager" as we're more than one person and have been
  for quite a while.
