What does this change
I have taken the template text from the CNCF project template for the contributor ladder at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cncf/project-template/30f45e1b5be5fd586ba17e83b6501d1721a7970a/CONTRIBUTOR_LADDER.md and used it to define Emeritus Maintainers.
This pretty much follows what was originally proposed in #2546, and includes paths for involuntary removal, and resuming maintainership status.
What issue does it fix
Closes #2546
Notes for the reviewer
Since this is changing our governance, this should be approved by a majority of active maintainers who have contributed in the past 6 months: @carolynvs, @VinozzZ, @sgettys, @bdegeeter. Non-active maintainers are welcome to vote too or ask to move to Emeritus status.
