FWIW, when I produced the various word diffs for for https://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_004 IIRC I just started from the textual version of the Constitution in /usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz . Feel free to have a look at the Git repo that I used at the time, which is now here: https://gitlab.com/zacchiro/debian-gr-ctte-term-limit There might be some (trivial) tooling that could be reusable for this case (I didn't check). (What you hint at, having a Git repo with both the historical and proposed changes of the Debian constitution would indeed be nice to have, but IMHO it is not a requirement to address the immediate need pointed out by Don, of easing understandability of this GR.) Thanks a lot for your work on this!
