New Maintainer Checklist: add "real" name, meetup.

Browse Source 
We've had problems in the past with Homebrew maintainers being unwilling to disclose their identity or meet other maintainers so here are some very light-touch suggestions to address this in future.

These ideas were run past the PLC and agreed there but I still welcome input from maintainers.

In interests of loosely verifying maintainer identity and building camaraderie, if you find yourself in the same town (e.g living, visiting or at a conference) as another Homebrew maintainer you should make the effort to meet up. If you do so, you can expense your meal (within SFC policies). This is a more relaxed version of e.g. the Debian system to meet in person to sign keys with a legal ID verification.
Now sit back, relax and let the new maintainers handle more of our contributions.
