Add ". The layer's objective/purpose/goal should also be clearly

Can we add to 2) that ". If the listed maintainers are unresponsive and
the layer no longer maintained for a period of longer than 12 weeks, a
layer can be marked as inactive, allocated to a new maintainer or
removed at the discretion of the TSC/OE Board.

Add "as clearly documented in the README"

6) The layer shouldn't contain much, if any source code for recipe
software, this should be referenced by SRC_URI except in exceptional
cases.

Otherwise looks good to me.
