Description

Adopt an open maintainer governance model for docker-node and align repository docs with the new decision-making flow.

Motivation and Context

The Node.js Docker WG charter is being revoked, so governance needs to move from WG language to a maintainers-based model while preserving public, consensus-seeking project operation.

This PR also documents escalation to the Node.js TSC when a final decision cannot be made via consensus seeking.

Testing Details

  • Verified links and section consistency in:
    • GOVERNANCE.md
    • README.md
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • No runtime/build behavior changes (documentation-only changes).

Example Output(if appropriate)

N/A

Types of changes

  • Documentation
  • Version change (Update, remove or add more Node.js versions)
  • Variant change (Update, remove or add more variants, or versions of variants)
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Other (none of the above)

I agree with the decharter, but the "mainteners" would likely be those listed as collaborators, as the WG members haven't been active in this repo for some time. There is also the https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/teams/docker that maybe should be leveraged with ncu syncing
