+1 I'd suggest that the reporter tool and Whimsy roster tool provide pointers to each other, where the latter focuses on the differences. I'm working slowly on making the roster tool read/write so that it can be used instead of the Perl scripts and editing committee-info.txt directly. The idea is that adding an existing committer to the PMC should be a matter of a few mouse clicks.
