[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC] MAINTAINERS: clarify some of the tags |

The MAINTAINERS file is a bit sparse on information about what
the different designators are. Let's add some more information
to give contributors a better idea about what the different
roles are.

This came out of a discussion about what being a 'reviewer' listed in
this file actually means. A reviewer probably should already have a
track record of doing helpful reviews before being listed in here.
While at it, I also tried to add some more hints for the other entries.
This patch is supposed to be a starting point for further discussion.
