Inconsistency between Projects page and Bylaws

[Iris Clark]

Hi, Omair.

Good catch.  The intention is that the Project overview page [1] always be consistent with the Bylaws.  The statement at the top is there just in case there are errors such as this one.

I've appended the diff I applied to the Project page last night.  Please let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks!

Subject: Inconsistency between Projects page and Bylaws

Hi,

I noticed that there is some inconsistency between the bylaws [1] and the projects page [2] in how Reviewers are nominated. The bylaws say:

"""
A Reviewer for a Project may nominate any of that Project’s Committers to be a new Reviewer for that Project. Such nominations are approved by a Three-Vote Consensus of the Project’s Reviewers.
"""

while the projects page says:

"""
Any Project Reviewer may nominate any of the Project's Committers to be a Project Reviewer of the same Project.
<snip>
    Send a call-for-votes to the Project's OpenJDK mailing list. The voting method for approval is Lazy Consensus and only current Reviewers are eligible to vote.
"""

The project page clearly states that "if there is a conflict between this page and the Bylaws then the Bylaws are considered authoritative."
But I think it makes sense to fix the projects page anyway to avoid confusion.

Thanks,
Omair
