Summary
Add project governance for OpenShell based on the CNCF maintainer governance template and informed by Cilium's contributor ladder. The document defines project values, contributor roles, maintainer eligibility and responsibilities, communication, voting, inactivity, and governance evolution.
Related Issue
No issue required: this PR adds the governance documentation needed to formalize the project's existing maintainer model and CNCF preparation.
