Subject: [PATCH] create the funding team

Initial charter from [rust-lang/leadership-council#294]:

* Get a first MiR contracted by June
* Establish procedures for ppl applying for becoming MiRs
* Establish procedures for finding sponsors
* Design a full charter by 31st of August and get it FCPed by the council
* Work within the merged RFMF RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3931
* wrt affiliation limits: only one employee per company is allowed on the funding team. If there are multiple (e.g. due to employment changes) either all but one must decide to leave or the one who has been there the shortest time will be removed automatically.
