Add a JSON schema for the maintainers JSON file

[agriyakhetarpal]

This would help with some basic validation; i.e., have a list of allowed labels for socials.labels (with "additionalProperties": false), link/project_link/website_link should match a URI, projects can be an array, and the rest can be strings, or anything else as applicable.

https://github.com/python-jsonschema/check-jsonschema can then be used to validate it, with something like

import json
import jsonschema

with open("maintainer.schema.json") as f:
    schema = json.load(f)

with open("maintainer.json") as f:
    data = json.load(f)

try:
    jsonschema.validate(instance=data, schema=schema)
except jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError as e:
    # do whatever with the error

or with their built-in pre-commit hooks – perhaps those might fit better after #17 :)

Hi praneel,

You can go ahead and see if anything can be added.
We have a issue template file (md) and a python parser that directly converts to json

This is to hopefully automate converting the text they fill.
We can make it robust to match as per json schema and have validation as agriya is suggesting.
