Perhaps, but PMC membership is not governed by LDAP committee group changes
It is not unknown for the LDAP group to be updated a long while before
(or after) the PMC membership changes (indicated by updating the
committee-info.txt file).
A person may be on the PMC but not in LDAP and vice versa.

Therefore it is wrong for the site to equate the two.

[I am hopeful that the site will be able to use the correct source
data eventually, but that is waiting on getting suitable access
rights]

There is a separate issue which is that not all PMCs equate committers
with LDAP. For example, Subversion and Commons allow any ASF committer
to update their SVN tree, so they don't maintain the group.
Furthermore, I'm not sure the LDAP unix groups are used for Git-based projects.
