docs: rSTify the "TrivialPatches" wiki
The original wiki is here[1]. I converted by copying the wiki source
into a .wiki file and convert to rST using `pandoc`:
$ pandoc -f Mediawiki -t rst trivial-patches.wiki -o trivial-patches.rst
Update the active maintainer names (and drop Michael Tokarev's inactive
repo) to reflect current reality.
