yes, even if Ant is one of the few committees that explicitely makes a 
difference between the committee and the project even if they share the same  
name

ok
question: are committers a second group of people attached to a PMC? To me, 
that's the case, even if some projects have their own committers list (like 
incubator projects, or I suppose the lucene-* or hive-hcatalog or xmlgraphics-
fop & xmlgraphics-batik LDAP groups representing projects that didn't write 
DOAP file)
see http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html

I suppose we could display the difference when some projects have their own 
committers list that is different from the TLP's committers list

ok,
that's the classical way IT people talk, even if that's not the way business 
people talk: I think this is a cause for major misunderstandings between devs 
and business, but that's a larger problem than ASF's internals we're working 
on :)

what is confusing, IMHO, is that we tell that a TLP == a PMC
and a PMC != projects
then a TLP != project: which in full words is "a Top Level Project is not a 
project": confusing


I'll create committee.html to display PMC (or "TLP") information and let 
projects link to the committee: that should be easy to do and revert if we're 
not happy with the result

notice that https://projects-new.apache.org/projects.html?pmc is confusing 
with this definition in place: TLP (ie PMC with our definition) icons are 
displayed against projects
If not too risky, I'll update this part too when trying committee.html


one good thing with committee.html is that we'll be able to display special 
committees
