MAINTAINERS: added MAINTAINERS file Added MAINTAINERS file to denote who are the maintainers/experts/reviewers within the OpenBMC org. The MAINTAINERS were chosen by who the current person fulfilling the role of maintainer is (Joel Stanley in the case of the kernel, Patrick Williams in the case of most other things, etc) and another maintainer was chosen as a backup, usually the largest or second largest contributor by commit count. Reviewers (experts) for most repos were chosen based on the amount of commits made by that person to the given repo; although this is by no means ideal and will likely change, it provides a starting place. Ideally, in the future, not only will reviewers and maintainers be chosen in a more reasonable manner, but they will be chosen along a more appropriate granularity than git repository (maybe just a sub-tree in a repo).

The OpenBMC project's aim is to create a highly extensible framework for BMC software and implement for data-center computer systems.
We have a few high-level objectives:
The OpenBMC framework must be extensible, easy to learn, and usable in a variety of programming languages.
Provide a REST API for external management, and allow for "pluggable" interfaces for other types of management interactions.
Provide a remote host console, accessible over the network
Persist network configuration settable from REST interface and host
Provide a robust solution for RTC management, exposed to the host.
Compatible with host firmware implementations for basic IPMI communication between host and BMC
Provide a flexible and hierarchical inventory tracking component
Maintain a sensor database and track thresholds
