It is quite probable that I've messed up spelling somewhere.  I'll get to the
bottom of where.  (Should be emeritus)

It not in that change, but in the original part of the document:
    https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/tof/membership-and-voting.md

So more specifically there are the following states:
    - Non-Member
    - Emeritus Member
    - Active Member - Normal Status
    - Active Member - Highly Productive Status

Non-members are individuals who did not contribute enough points in either of
the last two 6 month periods.  Emeritus members contributed enough in the
previous 6 month period to qualify, but not the current 6 month period. 
Active members contributed enough in the 6 month period to qualify for
elections.  Depending on the amount of their contributions they are either
"normal" or "highly productive".

In the roll-call JSON I used the following:
    - Non-Members are left out.
    - Emeritus should be "emeritus"
    - Active Member - Normal Status is simply "active"
    - Active and Highly Productive is "highly-productive"
