RIP(RocketMQ Improvement Proposals)

In the past, we hoped to add a new feature to RocketMQ by propose a issue on Github. It's a nice way for a request but not very formal and easy to trace and manage. So We introduce the RIP(RocketMQ Improvement Proposal) mechanism to replace the current Feature Request Process.
RIPs should be used for significant user-facing or cross-cutting changes, not small incremental improvements. When in doubt, if a committer thinks a change needs an RIP, it does.
It is easy to start a RIP from sending proposals to mailing lists. And the whole procedure of a RIP may follow below:
