  DEV: Draft governance document + list of people and positions

This is definitely *not* the final version -- it's the version
originally posted to the mailing list, reformatted as ReST. I'll make
further changes on top of this as further commits, in order to preserve
the historical record.

  DEV: Governance: delete redundant bits

The NumFOCUS subcommittee and Institutional Partners are now listed in a
separate file, so delete them from here.

We will eventually want to clean up the list of initial members of the
steering council, but the details are still under discussion on the
mailing list, so I left that section alone for now.

  DEV: Governance: fix pandoc weirdness

I used pandoc to convert Markdown to ReST, and for some reason it marked
all the links with two underscores instead of the more conventional
single underscore. I'm not sure why.

  DEV: Fix dates on Travis's time as leader

The 2001 date I had originally was based on the beginning of NumPy's git
history -- but further research suggests that this actually runs back
into Numeric times, before the NumPy project was founded.

New 2005 date is based on Fernando's recollection of the fateful meeting
that led to NumPy's creation, and is consistent with Wikipedia's claim
that 2006 was the first release.

If this is wrong please let me know :-)

  DEV: remove the interstitial notes on the seed steering council

Now that this seems to be settled, we don't need this cluttering up the
main text. (For the record: the rule listed here is what we actually
used.)

  DEV: for new council members, clarify order of voting and talking to them

Original text seemed to imply that we would always ask the potential new
Council Member whether they were interested *before* we actually decided
whether to offer them a spot, which could create a sticky situation if
someone ever got voted down.

Rephrase to make clear that things do not have to occur in this order.
