I’ve spent the past few weeks updating the clutch analysis process which had 
been neglected for many years.

This is now in production and on the Incubator website at 
https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/ <https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/>

It is my hope that every podling will be much better enabled to track their 
status.

Some highlights -
- In the current jbake website style.
- Takes into account that podlings all use GIT repositories.
- A new analysis page is created for each podling - for example: 
https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/skywalking.html 
<https://incubator.apache.org/clutch/skywalking.html>
- Whimsy tools are now available which enrich what may be analyzed. This 
includes https://whimsy.apache.org/pods/project 
<https://whimsy.apache.org/pods/project>
- Links and guidance have been refreshed to use the current Incubator site 
pages. (I think that these need work, but those are other topics.)
- I attempted to keep descriptions obvious and helpful with pointers to the 
best relevant documentation.
- Pull Requests welcome on https://github.com/apache/incubator/ 
<https://github.com/apache/incubator/>

Some notes about the process from 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk 
<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk>
- Python analysis clutch.py is replaced by clutch2.py and clutch2status.py.
- The clutch analysis is now run with clutch2.sh which includes error checking 
and nonzero exits.
- Clutch data is no longer .ent files, but is asciidoc
- Individual podling clutch analysis is generated asciidoc with verified 
information
- The clutch pickle file should work with the IPMC chair’s reporter process

Errata:
- I tried to keep most of the clutch page information somewhere on the page, 
but some gmane links were stale.
- One major observation is that most podlings are not updating their podling 
status pages: 
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#initialize_podling_status_page 
<https://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#initialize_podling_status_page>
- The guidance on how to update podling status page is spotty and the clutch 
page might be best.

Warm Regards,
Dave
