I've made a number of changes to

https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiComitGuidelines

to hopefully modernize it.  Key changes

1) Get rid of references to our old model -- such as keeping an authors.git
/ authors.svn ,  spike branches, and updating CREDITS file
2) Replace most references of Committer with Core Contributor or Contributor
(to address strk's sensitivities)
2) Change the term Developer to Contributor to be in agreement with our
documentation and to better value contributions beyond code.
3) Updates to how tickets and pull requests should be tagged.
5) Rename it from "PostGIS Commiter Guidelines" to  "Core Contributor
Guidelines"

If everyone is okay with the changes, I'll mark as Approved.

Thanks,
Regina
