The content looks great; some superficial comments:

can we split this in two patches?

I suggest replacing

  the incompatible change

with

  changes incompatible with current platforms

This could deserve its own patch -- my understanding is that this
clarification was really important to you, so it's not a small thing.

Do we need a space after the period?

Typo: should be "Create".

Also, space after period.

Finally:

- please use the [wiki PATCH]  subject prefix, or similar (can be set
  with --subject-prefix)

- the subject lines should be a bit more meaningful, such as:

  [wiki PATCH 1/3] Who we are: highlight platform incompatibilities and coordination
  [wiki PATCH 2/3] Who we are: clarify patch review response time expected of Maintainers
  [wiki PATCH 3/3] Who we are: define Release Maintainer Role

Thanks!
