See commit description.

Please make sure to read the source code directly, as some parts of the original text have not yet been altered, these usually have comments which aren't visible in the rendered version.

Two parts in particular stand out:

  • The Rust process requires consensus by all members of a subteam, since we may not have subteams (see community forge discussion) this would have to be revised.
    After the review I've changed this to be a sizable majority of the ecosystem team for now.
  • RFCs need some kind of advertisement when they go into FCP, Rust for example uses the "This Week in Rust" newsletter. See the comment for ideas.
    I went with the forum as an example here, this need not be just that, it merely serves as an example.

I've also left out the explanation about postponing and informality because they didn't seem to add much and the doc is already long enough. I think we can still simplify a lot of the wording here to make it more approachable.

This process is adapted from the Rust RFC process on rust-lang/rfcs and
is intentionally less formal than that of Rust as the Typst community
is still much smaller and the RFCs are less official than those of Rust.

The formality may change in the future and the repository may be
incorporated into the typst organization itself. But until then, this
process can stay simple and somewhat informal.

I've put this up for review, but I'd like to discuss the current state of the ecosystem team on the forge before this is merged to ensure we have a representative portion of the community for the final vote of the RFC (as the process stands for now at least).
