[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] doc/community: Update Community Committee section to reflect reality (PR #20224)

It is not functional nor extant.

The members do not respond, enforce, or do anything. One actively ignores it on purpose.

I have sent *nine* emails to the CC since 25 July about the same individual, with the exact email they've sent included. Total radio silence. The individual in question continues to harass people.

I was told if I wanted the CC to enforce its own rules, I needed to notify them of problematic emails, but it seems to be routed to `/dev/null`.

So, update the docs to reflect the reality: There are no rules, and you are free to harass anyone.
