docs(README): Add João to list of maintainers (#3295)
@jxs made multiple [significant contributions](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+author%3Ajxs) to rust-libp2p across the various crates and helped as a maintainer for the past 3 months. I suggest we (officially) add him to the list of rust-libp2p maintainers.

This repository is the central place for Rust development of the [libp2p](https://libp2p.io) spec.
## Getting started
- **Main documentation** can be found on https://docs.rs/libp2p.
- The **[examples](examples)** folder contains small binaries showcasing the
many protocols in this repository.
- For **security related issues** please [file a private security vulnerability
report](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/security/advisories/new)
or reach out to [security@libp2p.io](mailto:security@libp2p.io). Please do not
file a public issue on GitHub.
- To **report bugs, suggest improvements or request new features** please open a
GitHub issue on this repository.
- For **rust-libp2p specific questions** please use the GitHub _Discussions_
forum https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/discussions.
- For **discussions and questions related to multiple libp2p implementations**
please use the libp2p _Discourse_ forum https://discuss.libp2p.io.
- For general project updates and discussions join the [biweekly libp2p Community
Calls](https://discuss.libp2p.io/t/libp2p-community-calls/1157).
## Repository Structure
The main components of this repository are structured as follows:
* `core/`: The implementation of `libp2p-core` with its `Transport` and
`StreamMuxer` API on which almost all other crates depend.
* `transports/`: Implementations of transport protocols (e.g. TCP) and protocol upgrades
(e.g. for authenticated encryption, compression, ...) based on the `libp2p-core` `Transport`
API .
* `muxers/`: Implementations of the `StreamMuxer` interface of `libp2p-core`,
e.g. (sub)stream multiplexing protocols on top of (typically TCP) connections.
Multiplexing protocols are (mandatory) `Transport` upgrades.
* `swarm/`: The implementation of `libp2p-swarm` building on `libp2p-core`
with the central interfaces `NetworkBehaviour` and `ConnectionHandler` used
to implement application protocols (see `protocols/`).
* `protocols/`: Implementations of application protocols based on the
`libp2p-swarm` APIs.
* `misc/`: Utility libraries.
* `examples/`: Worked examples of built-in application protocols (see `protocols/`)
with common `Transport` configurations.
