From a practical standpoint, how do we make a list of eligible voters for a TC election? Today we pull a list of committers from the git history from the projects associated with “official programs", but if we are dropping “official programs” we need some other way to build the list.

goes through incubation are projects that want to become part of the
integrated release.
