Let's just rename it to MAINTAINERS file instead and update the
documentation.

## Contributing new runtime files
If you want to contribute new runtime files for Vim or Neovim, please create a
PR with your changes against this repository here. For new filetypes, do not forget:
* to add a new [filetype test][12] (keep it similar to the other filetype tests).
* all configuration switches should be documented
(check [filetype.txt][13] and/or [syntax.txt][14] for filetype and syntax plugins)
* add yourself as Maintainer to the top of file (again, keep the header similar to
other runtime files)
* add yourself to the [MAINTAINERS][11] file.
