Wasn't sure if
committees-historical.yaml
should be manually updated in concert (I'm not currently using it).
It's possible it already has these committees. Can you check? If so, we should be OK to merge this.

I only spot checked one, but unfortunately it looks like it is missing.
While the last commit was made in March, it doesn't look like it has been very actively maintained.
🤔 That said, perhaps it is maintained in the right cadence relative to the pace of change -- I'm not sure.

In any event, here's an example of the HSGO 25 Information Technology subcommittee I spot checked ... https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators/pull/890/files#diff-fac9b9f1518db85a76e9073b70b23a5511f7dfe0b38c92e16d212689d0aefc75L299
For convenience, I've excerpted a sample of the relevant committees-historical.yaml
as one example that might need attention.
Accurately attributing these to which congresses each applies to could involve lots more work.
Updating them is probably more than I can bite off at the moment.
Hopefully someone else can chip in and fill in the gaps tho 🤞
Alternately, I guess a separate issue could be filed to backfill committees-historical.yaml
in isolation?
Pros/cons, with that I guess tho.
Thanks for checking. No need to hold this up for the other file.
I did a manual audit of #886 and indeed, it looks the committees missing members are no longer listed in applicable house/senate websites.
