Need addition to policy manual for new developers

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

Let's please make this policy change for new maintainers:

New maintainers must read the "Social Contract" before applying.
They should state that they have done so in their message to
new-maintainers@debian.org . They also should be expected to know
where to find the "Debian Policy Manual" and the "Debian Packaging
Manual".

Somehow, some people become maintainers without ever reading the social
contract! I would not have thought it was possible :-)

	Thanks

	Bruce
