I don't get how discussion about re-organising instructions (= something that 
is needed given the benefits we get from the new Jekyll approach with templates 
for retirement messages) goes into a discussion about the 2 output orphan 
branches

as you notices, I split the instructions in 2 different pages:
1. the overview, that is meant for external readers to understand the wider view
2. the howto details, that is more meant for Attic PMC to have more detailed 
instructions: only the DOAP aspect is useful for contributors, when a retired 
PMC wants to help us 

getting help from retired PMC happened so few in the past, I hope this will 
happen more in the future with our better instructions
IMHO, we need to clarify what is for the Attic team, and what is for external 
people (with eventually before and after retirement)

notice that I also have M&P expectations in mind = 
https://github.com/apache/attic-site/pull/2
we'll need in the future some help from retired PMC to help identify and update 
non-ASF managed assets like these ones

BTW, this is the right time and place to thank everybody for the great job done 
on past 2 weeks: the level of positive activity has been incredible, associated 
to the technical migrations. I'm so happy that we were able to not only 
struggle on technical details, but get a real benefit for the Attic
Let's continue!

That's a good idea, but care needs to be taken to ensure that the
correct branches get updated.

There are 2 output branches to consider
- asf-site
- cwiki-retired

I think it would be useful to generate both, though cwiki-retired
could be added to the site branch rather than a separate branch.
This would allow the output to be checked.
