Since we are editing the development process, use this an an
opportunity to improve the spelling in the document and the website's
custom dictionary.

The development process states that a "Fixes: APERTIS-<task_id>" tag
should be added to relevant commit messages. At some point we had
functionality in place to automatically add comments on the Phabricator
task when such tags were present. I don't believe that this
functionality is still in place, hence the description is missleading.

This is also not something that I have seen being used (a lot?) by core
maintainers. Since this is not common practice we should remove this
requirement, simplifying the documented process for new contributors.

The Apertis documentation refers to the role of maintainer in a number of
places, but never defines what the role entails. Add a section to cover
this role, linking to it from places where it is relevant.

The "contribution process" as much details Apertis' policies with regards
to contributions as laying out a process. Rename the page to simply
"contributions" to make the scope of the document a bit clearer.

The contribution process document contains both policy information as well
as more of a development guide. Split the development guide section out as
it's own document in guides rather than having it contained in the policy
document.
