Volunteer beorn7 as 2.10 release shepherd

I'm willing to do this under the condition that I can run an
experiment with never freezing master. See addition in the file.

I believe, this way is more consistent with how we handle the bugfix
releases after the final minor release is cut. It's at least worth a
try.

* Once a pre-release has been released, the `master` branch of the repository is frozen for any feature work, only critical bug fix work concerning the minor release is merged.
* Pre-releases are done from `master`, after pre-releases are promoted to the stable release a `release-major.minor` branch is created.
_Experimental change of the above procedure for the v2.10 release: The `release-2.10` branch is created at the time the first pre-release is cut. All releases of the series including pre-releases are cut from the `release-2.10` branch. `master` will not be frozen for feature work._
