GOVERNANCE.md states that maintainers are eligible for the TC but doesn't document the process for handling exceptions to this rule. This is however covered by the TC elections document. Let's make that policy more explicit and official by moving it into the charter.
Motivation
The charter should include all applicable rules and elections processes and the TC elections document should concentrate on the execution of said process.
Exemplification
N/A
Benefits
All rules in one place. Right now you have to cross-reference both documents to understand how a TC election should be carried out.
