The intent is a handbook for being a maintainer. However, in the process of describing how a given sub-system is maintained one also needs to describe the local rules. So contributors should be able to glean what matters to a sub-system from a description of how that sub-system is maintained. In other words the direct audience is maintainers, but it also hopefully makes the process more transparent for contributors.
