Provide better help regarding the content of the committer election merit statement

Description
Committer elections require a statement of merit. We should provide more help for nominators to make sure that they get it right the first time.
Ideally, a nomination's statement of merit will list a handful of contributions (with links) made by the nominee. Rationalization that an individual has made significant contributions to the initial contribution in the past is also sufficient. e.g. "Bob has made significant contributions to the project; he created the such-and-such subsystem. He is joining the project to maintain and grow that functionality." (or something like that).
There is some discussion on Bug 283880. Also see Bug 366435 regarding automatic generation of merit statements.
