I'm removing the "are initially the Project's Committers" as I guess that was from when the TSC was initially setup and it's no longer needed.

Is this text hosted/included on any other website (e.g. included on some LF EU webpage, where it might be unclear what "this repository" might refer to?

AFAIK, it's only here. While it's linked from other places, all of them point to here.
We might reword to "the servo/project repository" or something like that.

This allows the TSC to add new roles, without needing to amend the charter, right?

I think that was allowed before already, but I'm fixing the name of the file as that's not in the CONTRIBUTING file, actually that file has been moved to the book.
So TSC could already do that in the CONTRIBUTING file, and if we didn't do it then the other rules would apply. I'm removing the other rules as it doesn't look like something needed, as we'll have now the process documented somewhere else. I was doing that to simplify the charter, but I'm fine keeping those lines if we think it's better.

Just to clarify, I'm not opposed to this - on the contrary, I would have suggested that we add a line that allows us to define roles in the Readme through regular TSC meetings, since we still need to define some existing roles like Organization admin or infrastructure maintainers.
