Daniel Gruno commented on INFRA-10872:
--------------------------------------

This is hardly a major bug, I am reassigning the labels here.
Feel free to come up with a patch for this - I don't think this will have any sort of priority at the moment with infra.

> The Apache Phone Book appears to be using LDAP as the basis for ASF membership and for PMC membership. However LDAP is not the canonical source for the information, and as a result the information it provides is not completely accurate.
> In particular, there are several people in the 'member' LDAP unix group who are not ASF members, for example 'pono'.
> The lists of PMC members are likewise inaccurate; they don't reflect the contents of committee-info.txt accurately.
> This is because the LDAP groups represent group karma, not group membership. There are always going to be discrepancies between these groups.
> Note that Whimsy now provides access to the public data in committee-info.txt [1] and members.txt[2], so these can be used by the Phone Book to provide accurate information using the nice search facility.
