Add a last_reviewed_date to docs metadata
- At the AGM we formed an ad-hoc documentation working group.
- One of our ideas was that we should have a last reviewed date for
  documentation, so that we can periodically implement a review
  mechanism (GitHub Actions posts to Slack for a regular documentation
  outdatedness check?) to track how old docs are and ensure they're
  still relevant.
- This is a first step towards that goal, by adding a `last_review_date`
  to the metadata of all docs with a date of earlier than Homebrew's
  inception because everything needs reviewing so that we start from a
  good base!

Resolutions

Motion to adopt the voting system

Project Leader

The Homebrew Project Leader will be chosen by holding a Schulze Condorcet method election. This popular method of voting is used by several organizations such as Wikimedia, Debian and Ubuntu. The single highest-ranked candidate, who is preferred over every other candidate in pairwise comparisons, will be elected to become the Project Leader.

Voting by proxy is permitted, and proxy votes count towards the quorum for the election.

Project Leadership Committee (PLC)

The Homebrew Project Leadership Committee will be chosen by holding a Meek Single Transferable Vote (STV) election. The quota (threshold) of votes for a candidate to be elected will be calculated using the Droop quota.

Voting by proxy is permitted, and proxy votes count towards the quorum for the election.
