I hereby solemnly swear not to flame the entire committee during its 
meetings!

seriously, though - yeah, a logging bot is a good idea, but it can't 
summarise things. I think the human touch would be to summarise, compare 
notes with the previous meetings, measure improvements, etc; none of 
which can be done effectively with bots.

But I'll try write one that can anyway, through sheer laziness.
