Adopted charter issues

I posted these messages pointing out issues I see in the charter after
its adoption was announced [1].  The opencontainers/web repository has
not been updated since 2015-07-24, and Vincent suggests it may be dead
[2].  I asked how I should submit changes [3], and have not received a
reply.

Before adoption, folks who belonged to a member company were suggested
to go through their company representative, and folks without a member
company were recommended to contact Mike Dolan
<mdolan@linuxfoundation.org>.  However, Rob Dolin contacted me shortly
after that meeting asking for pointers to my opencontainers/web pull
requests, and most of those ended up landing in some form or other in
the adopted charter.

I'll probably wait until we elect a TOB and ping them, but
until then I'll tag these issues to reduce the likelyhood of duplicate
reports.

Labels and extension metadata

This thread came from an issue that is still open [1], so I'm tagging
it.  My personal feeling is still "this is out-of-scope, use an
orthogonal spec and load it in as arbitrary bundle content [2]" [3].
But the issue is still alive and fluxy, and I was just talking about
it with Vincent in #opencontainers on 2015-12-18.
