Research direction

Start with the linked pull request discussion, especially the point raised by @Smaug123, and review how nixpkgs models maintainers and codeowners. Determine what ownership model this repository should adopt and document or implement the agreed approach.

Description

Looking at https://github.com/NixOS/templates/pull/58#discussion_r1065174752, @Smaug123 raises a good point. It doesn't make sense for folks submitting a new template to add themselves as a codeowner unless they're also given commit access to this repo. Would it make more sense to adopt the maintainer's model that nixpkgs uses?
