rengolin requested review of this revision.

As requested in D90761 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D90761>, a small paragraph in the developer policy to
mention the different support levels.

Adding a new paragraph under "Adding an Existing Project" section to
check the different levels of support we have, to help introduction of
smaller set of changes without overwhelming new collaborators and
potentially losing the contribution.
