    Explain what "PMC" is on the committers page (#710)
    
    The committers page uses the PMC acronym without explaining what it is.
    
    Explain the acronym before using it, and link to our Apache project
    page. That page is the authoritative public reference on who is a
    committer and who is a PMC member.
