The comment was added by Owen O'Malley. I've corrected the report.
With regards to "Shepherd assignments" email, I didn't send one out this
month, instead noting in the "November 2013 report timeline" that the
assignments are on the report wiki page. Maybe that explains the low
participation. :(
In future months, I think there should be only one email, so please watch for
it. The shepherd assignments are now done automatically by a script[1];
I plan to add another `report_timeline.py` script which generates the "report
timeline" email, and finally a `report_runbook.py` which generates all the
commands and instructions that a "Report Manager" would need to execute --
analogous to a release runbook.
I'd meant to have all this stuff done two months ago, but other Incubator
Chair responsibilities kept eating my time. I think it's important for future
Chairs that we lighten the load of preparing the monthly report.

[1] It was actually pretty tricky (and time-consuming) to make the shepherd
assignments "manually", taking into account all the necessary criteria:
never repeat a podling-shepherd pairing, Mentors can't be shepherds for
their own podlings, only so many per month per person, some shepherds
prefer specific types of podlings, etc.
