[mpiwg-tools] Changes from Bordeaux to MPIR

[Jeff Squyres (jsquyres)]

I think Wesley and I didn't talk about this specific case, to be honest.

(+Wesley)

Wesley: got any good ideas here?  I.e., how does a working group manage a bunch of individual Forum tickets internally, and then push them up -- individually -- up to the main mpi-forum repo?

I think it would be desirable for the working group to be able to make a PDF that represents all their collectively-agreed-upon PRs, but also be able to push those PRs individually up to the Forum (vs. pushing the entire union of all changes up to the Forum en masse).
