As a general comment Wookie reports tend to be a bit wordy. Bullets are usually sufficient. That being said, I think having the detail is good, even if only for our own records.
Perhaps move the bullets from the end to a summary section at the start and have the wordy version in a details section for interested folk. I've added your text (with my presumably non-controversial changes) to the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/May2012 Other edits should be done there.
