6d33c08c04 Clean up the "Administrative Details" section of committer's Guide:
- Force column width to improve rendering.
- Remove a number of pieces of information which is either obsolete or
  just not important. This includes removing reference to using telnet
  which was already obsolete when I got a commit bit in 2003...
- Point people at freefall.
- Remove the hardcoded lists of members of cvsadm and GNATS admins -
  this just duplicated administration.html and new committers should
  not need to bug the two teams so often that they need to be pointed
  out more than the many other active administrative teams. [1]
- Point at dcvs and pcvs for CVS repo's, as those are still in use by
  developers.
- Don't use entities for internal mailing lists which expands to the
  names as the result is just confusing and not useful. This part
  should probably be changed to be a section with more text instead of
  trying to include most info inside a table.
- Add information about portmgr monthly reports.
- Add a few links to some useful internal pages with more information.
- Misc minor text cleanup.

df3f30b9ef Add a bit of back-fill to make the procedures for e.g. GNATS-only
committers more explicit.  This section needs a bit more work.

While here, promote a paragraph to a note, while leaving whitespace alone.

04a2a0d93f Per recent discussions in core, commit the updates to the tier
document as posted to the developers list about three months ago.
Some comments from that time have not been addressed, but will be in
subsequent commits.  I had hoped to get them all ironed out before,
but I've been too swamped.

If you have additional comments, please feel free to send them to me.

This recognizes that FreeBSD is increasingly being used in embedded
targets and starts to define what is expected of these embedded
targets at different tier levels, and recognizes that we may do
releases for them differently than we do for server/desktop.

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

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.

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.
