Wiki page review

 * https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee updated
 * note - the wiki page is a bit out of date, with many links reflecting historical content from 2013
 * Jody learned a trick to handle archived content, so we can keep historical notes from 2013 without them getting in the way of 2020. See example: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Archived
 * We should write down how our email motions work, see https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee example
