chromium: Add myself (@primeos) as provisional maintainer
I don't really have the hardware resources nor time to do this properly,
but I'll try to keep a watch on Chromium (updates, PRs, and issues)
until we've found a new team [0].
Testing will be performed on a best effort basis (no guarantees :o).

I've also briefly documented the current maintainer
roles/responsibilities and added `meta.longDescription`.

+      safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience
+      the web. It has a minimalist user interface and provides the vast majority
+      of source code for Google Chrome (which has some additional features).
