Say who Maiman was

The rename commit put the reasoning in the architecture document, where only
someone already reading §11 would find it. A visitor arriving at the README
sees a name they have no way to parse — and an unexplained proper noun reads
as arbitrary, which is the opposite of what choosing this one was for.

So it goes where each audience actually lands: one line under the README
tagline, a paragraph in the product context, and a sentence in the package
docstring for whoever meets the project through `help(maiman)`.
