Description

In this month's meeting, there was a general consensus that we're ready to begin the process of submitting Baseline to a standards body.

To do this, we should add (to MAINTAINERS.md?) a description of the responsibilities that the named "owners" of the standards process are expected to shoulder. Approval of this text, when written, will serve as formal maintainer approval of pursuing this process.
