[gentoo-project] [PATCH 1/2] glep-0076: Shift responsibilities from Trustees to Council

[Ulrich Müller]

After Gentoo Linux has become an associated project of SPI,
the Council is the obvious entity to be responsible for the tasks
previously assigned to the Trustees.

[gentoo-project] [PATCH 2/2] glep-0076: Drop reference to project licensing wiki page

[Ulrich Müller]

the policy.
