Hi Sebb,
thing is ... from what I can see in the IoT space, it seems till a week ago
no-one was really using the DOAP files for their projects and from looking at
the ones I know, it seemed they were pretty outdated. So I intentionally moved
the RDF files to a more prominent position.

There is no need to create a local PMC description RDF file.
Most TLPs use the ones at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees/
If yours does not exist yet, just create it and add it to committees.xml
There is a template for this purpose:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees/_template.rdf

I have seen quite a lot of projects without maintained RDF files, because they
are so invisible to most of the folks … if for example you have a look at the
Flex ref file [7], it still mentions Alex as chair, which isn’t the case
anymore for more than 2 years now.
To avoid duplication and staleness of data, it's best not to use the
PMC RDF files for anything but the minimum, i.e.
id, name and charter

Unfortunately experience shows they still get forgotten, particularly
the PMC file (as noted above).
