DOC: Create MAINTAINERS.md

[DominicOram]

As discussed in person. This lists the people that are maintainers on ophyd

[prjemian]

I recognize every one on the list but wonder what information was used to create this list? I'm looking at https://github.com/bluesky/ophyd/graphs/contributors and some other names with recent commit history. Are these the people who, when asked, agreed to be maintainers?

[DominicOram]

We decided it in person as a large group of NSLS-II, DLS and LCLS people, using basically the methodology you describe. I appreciate though that some people on the list may feel it's been thrust upon them and I should have been more descriptive in the PR description that this is effectively that request. I'll add everyone on the list as a reviewer and we won't merge until we're all happy. @danielballan maybe we should do the same process for the other MAINTAINER.md files?

We can discuss further on here or mattermost if people have concerns but my understanding was that the role isn't really any additional work above what people are doing anyway and that we wanted to err on the side of lots of people from lots of facilities.

[ZLLentz]

I'm 👍 on being a maintainer here

[prjemian]

@DominicOram Thanks for your response. I'm just asking so the process becomes documented (resolves any questions in the future).

[prjemian]

I agree to be a maintainer.

[tangkong]

I am also ok to be a maintainer 👍

[prjemian]

This approved PR languishes. Can it be merged now?

[danielballan]

I think that it was @klauer's intention to step back, and that we should remove him from this list. I hope it goes without saying that future input from Ken would always be more than welcome anywhere in the project.

Maybe @ZLLentz or @tangkong can confirm. With that change, I think we should merge.

[ZLLentz]

Yes, my understanding is that @klauer is focusing on other projects now with his new (not so new any more) job that's outside the lab/EPICS sphere, though his input would always be valuable and welcome of course.
