We were told to change 'he' into 'they' to be neutral.  However, it's true
that there's one maintainer at a time so we will remove the 's' from
"maintainers".

We'll take this into account.  We will create a new file called
"triangularworkflow.txt" just for the triangular workflow to be more precise
because "gitworkflows.txt" is a long file.  More, we first wanted to change
the doc to help new contributors. If we put all the triangular workflow
section in merge workflows, this won't be clear for a new contributor.

Thank you for the review.
