Log Message:
-----------
[documentation] again changed the wording of the manifesto since some people may feel offended by the list of "core developers". I changed this into "core maintainers", hoping that the intentions become clear. I think there needs to be a list of people who are willing to play a moderator role for the project as a whole.
