The 3 of us were the original core members (I'm not sure if [4] is capable of displaying history). Then we started making commits to the repo [5]. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine who got involved, when they got involved, and in what capacity.

While we are exploring the history of the API WG, I'd like a quick fact
check...

At the recent Board+TC+UC meeting, the User Committee presented the API
workgroup as a User Committee workgroup, based on data from:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee

That said, the API WG discussions seem to be mostly developer-driven,
happen on openstack-dev, and the openstack/api-wg repository is listed
under the TC-driven repositories:

http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/reference/technical-committee-repos.yaml

It's not really a big deal (I'm fine with it either way), but since we
may want to list working groups on the governance website soon, it would
be great to clarify where that one falls...
