This lurking director would like to give a little bit guidance; a. Board itself cares mostly about the question "Are there any problems for the project?", which includes "releases happening", "bringing in new people", "trademark issues with external parties", "healthy collaboration" and similar. Info on this is expected, and if lacking some director typically ask for it to be included in the future.
b. Board reports are permanent records of the foundation, and projects may want to add additional data that future generations might find interesting. That could be about new insights or meetups/events that have happened. c. Board reports automatically reach many PMC Chairs and a lot of Apache Members, so some projects like to highlight milestones or other achievements that might bring more people to take a closer look at a project. A kind of targeted marketing channel, with a curious and relevant audience. In general, Board reports with only stats are not appreciated much. The "human touch" that brings in a context, as Michael points out, is often much more important. Only direct participants in the project understands the "current situation" and can explain both positives (to enlighten others) and negatives (maybe learn from mistakes).
