On committer candidate nomination

Folks,

A seemingly complex and long path to become a committer can drive away
potential candidates shortly after they start contributing to the project.
Around a year ago Jim Jagielski raised a concern about the high entry bar
we have in the project. We heard the feedback and decided to liberalize our
process for nominating new committers via simplifying the committer
checklist.

1) We have relaxed our committer candidate guidelines, see the updated
version [1].
2) Committer checklist [2] is a thing of the past: candidates are no longer
supposed to fill it in.
3) Nominators are encouraged to use template [3] when proposing new
candidates.
