Based on feedback during a recent collaborator onboarding, move the
metadata description closer to where the instructions for editing a
commit message are.
Indicate which metadata are required and which are optional.
Make the punctuation more consistent. Previously, sentences prior to
instructions ended in a period, a colon, or no punctuation at all. Colon
seems best, so changed the Technical How-To section to use colons.

If a change affects only specific parts of the tests and or
documentation, and in particular not of the runtime code itself,
it should often be okay to land it early.
The primary goal of the 48-hour rule is to ensure that people
who are invested in certain parts of Node have a reasonable chance
to weigh in based on their usage of Node; if the API is not
touched in a change, that is arguably much less of an issue.
In particular, this:
- Should help avoid excessive nitpicking.
- Helps newcomers, since their first PRs often touch only those areas
and a direct success is very motivating.
- Helps with the amount of pull requests created by events such a
Code & Learn.
