sorry, I've been away for too much time

What value does a DOAP add: avoids past project to fully disappear once in the 
Attic

I discover one aspect of TLPs with no DOAP file
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?category#no-tlp-doap

Remove the Committee definition and it removes the basic project that existed 
until now based on the small "default DOAP" magic
like for example https://projects.apache.org/project.html?answer

Perhaps we should just create a basic DOAP file when retiring, just to keep the 
project visible

Regards,

Hervé
