[documentation] New Handbook Page for Review... And a More General Question

[Ariane Khachatourians]

Just had a skim.

I would agree and say it's pretty well a policy not to credit yourself on
the pages (though I would keep the links to the other two pages if they are
useful as references). It does indeed discourage others from updating the
pages, and sort of clutters up the pages if a lot of people have worked on
them.

If people want to know who's worked on pages, all they need to is look at
the revisions tab.

Otherwise, formatting and such looks pretty good.
