Consider adding a short "Spec History" Section?

@waldemarhorwat gave a great, short overview of the history of the spec/committee evolution and pointed out that a lot of that history is encapsulated in some of the old spec intros. Could be cool to pull some of that and edit it for the site.

@samuelgoto for clarity, this was at the "newcomers" chat after day one of the meeting this week. Someone asked a question that prompted Waldemar to share some of that, which made me think it could be an interesting story for the site (I'm a total nerd for that history stuff myself!)

You can see a bit of history in the current introduction.

Can I suggest that this historical documentation be developed outside of this repository, in @codehag and @jorydotcom 's archival project and @allenwb 's work towards a history of JavaScript?
