Indeed, it is. But not all can be covered in such a short document.
For instance, it states:

"Last year, we moved the LLVM mailing lists to a new email server. We
will finish up the infrastructure changes by moving all LLVM services.
A full review will be done to address any outstanding infrastructure
concerns from the community."

I'm just trying to have the "full review" somewhere public.

Spot-on. :)

+1.
