doc: standardize on not capitalizing _collaborator_
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Sometimes we capitalize _collaborator_ and sometimes not. After
consulting the Microsoft Style Guide and The Chicago Manual of Style,
I've concluded it is best to not capitalize it. For consistency, apply
that to our various .md files.
