[Twisted-Python] Updating the project leadership committee

[Adi Roiban]

Thanks, Glyph

The top posting worthy question is:

Why else volunteers to be a member of the refreshed Twisted project
leadership committee ?

---------------

I volunteer to be a member of the committee.

I can also take care of  writing the required text to be forwarded to the
existing committee for an up or down vote.

I hope we don't need to bypass the current committee.

Regards
