I'm wondering about this part.  It seems to me like just a historic
overview of the old situation, which IMO does not belong in the
constitution.

I don't think it makes sense that the Debian constitution determines who
can become a member of SPI.  That is something that should be (and
probably is) described in SPI's bylaws.
