The above is strictly true, however, being in LDAP results in being granted the karma for several things that a PMC member might need (mail-search karma for a project, access to the projects private svn tree, etc) I don't think that the reporter site is looking to be a canonical source of truth, so perhaps LDAP records are close enough. Particularly since a committer account is LDAP based, so looking at a single source of information for both PMC and committer stats, even if not necessarily the canonical source of that information, seems at least pragmatic, even though there is a chance of inaccuracy. > [I am hopeful that the site will be able to use the correct source > data eventually, but that is waiting on getting suitable access > rights] > > There is a separate issue which is that not all PMCs equate committers > with LDAP.
