This PR is an attempt to modify the governance doc to reflect actual PR management practices, which have departed a little from what we initially proposed. Chiefly, this would allow peers to merge any feature change, with the exception of deleting a feature outright. I also made a few consistency edits along the way, to reflect the terminology we actually use.
Note: This is a governance change, so I'd like to have at least a few owners review and approve before merging (and block on any objections).
Fixes #1528.
