I hadn't realized that the template section was different from the top
part. Sorry for not scrolling down.
Current:
==========================
## PMC changes (from committee-info.txt):
- Currently 40 PMC members.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was Paul Nicolucci on Tue Jul 14 2015
## Committer base changes:
- Currently 76 committers.
- No new committers added in the last 3 months
- Last committer addition was Thomas Andraschko at Thu Jul 02 2015
==========================
Improved (mostly using Rich's wording):
==========================
## Community Roster Changes
PMC established: 02/2006 (assumed actual date: 2006-02-27)
→ Currently 76 committers and 40 PMC members.
→ Last PMC addition: Tue Jul 21 2015 (Paul Nicolucci)
→ Latest committer addition: Thu Jul 02 2015 (Thomas Andraschko)
==========================
I'm ambivalent about the "No new" lines, so having those after the
actual date would be fine if it makes the board member's job easier.
I have no interest in knowing it comes from "commitee-info".
However, I can live with the latest current incarnation without
feeling like I need to post-process it. Thanks!
