That's exactly what I was thinking: the report uses the ASF-wide terms
("committer" and "PMC Member") first, and only later adds the
svn-specific bits (translations or concrete semantics) of those terms.
This way seems to serve both those acquainted with the svn community
structure and those unacquainted with it.
