I picked up a bunch of the pieces from wayland's version:

The weston one is fairly similar. Then I rather massively trimmed it down since in reality libdrm is a bit a dumping ground with very few real rules. The commit rights and CoC sections I've copied verbatim from igt respectively drm-misc. Weston/Wayland only differ in their pick of how many patches you need (10 instead of 5). I think for libdrm this is supremely relevant, since most everyone will get their commit rights by contributing already to the kernel or mesa and having commit rights there already.
Anyway, I figured this is good to get the rules documented, even if there's mostly not many rules.
Note: This references maintainers in a MAINTAINERS file, which needs to be created first.
Note: With the gitlab migration the entire commit rights process is still a bit up in the air. But gitlab commit rights and roles are hierarchical, so we can do libdrm-only maintainer/commiter roles ("Owner" and "Developer" in gitlab-speak). This should avoid conflating libdrm roles with mesa roles, useful for those pushing to libdrm as primarily kernel contributors.
Fine with me,
