Subject[PATCH 03/11] docs: kernel-docs: reflect that it is community-maintained
Date
Remove and rephrase statements that only make sense if a single author
exclusively would maintain this document, but we would really want to
consider this being a page maintained by the kernel community, as it is
placed in the kernel repository, and let us hope that more contributors
suggest some more documents.

Further, do some minor word-smithing.
