Surfaces each working group's total weight (sum of member weights) alongside the existing contributor count, and adds a total-weight figure to each top-level category summary. - Inline group header rows: the previously-empty Weight cell now holds the bolded subtotal. - Where the group header IS the table's column-header row (or a soft section divider inside a continuing table), a new "Group total" row is inserted below it. - The four category summary bullets gain ", N total weight" after the existing contributors count. No member rows, contributor counts, or links are modified.
- Three working groups (Cryptography Research, Execution Layer Specs + Coordination, Dev/Testnets) and one soft section divider (Consensus Layer Specs + Coordination) previously occupied the table's column-header row, which meant their Weight cell was taken by the "Weight" column label rather than a subtotal. They now sit as ordinary inline rows below a generic `**Group** | **Weight** | **Contributions**` header, matching the format already used by the CONSENSUS CLIENTS / EXECUTION CLIENTS tables. - The placeholder "Group total" rows added in the previous commit are removed; subtotals now live directly in each group's own row. - Reth's contributor count corrected from 6 to 7 — the source already listed 7 member rows.

Summary
Surfaces each working group's total weight (sum of member weights) alongside the existing contributor count, and adds a total-weight figure to each top-level category summary. Helps readers see at a glance how much full-time-equivalent contribution each group/category carries — currently only contributor counts are shown, which under-represents groups with several 0.5-weight members and equally-represents groups where everyone is full-time.
What changed
| **Reth** (6 contributors) | **4.5** | [paradigmxyz/reth](...) |.| _Group total_ | **N** | |row is inserted below it, since the Weight cell on the header row itself carries the column label., N total weightafter the existingM contributorscount.No member rows, contributor counts, links, or other content are modified.
Notes on rendering
GitHub's narrow rendered view (and the readthedocs build) was a constraint, so I avoided widening any column. The subtotal lives in the existing Weight column where it aligns visually beneath each member's weight.
Stale numbers in the source (not touched by this PR)
While computing the subtotals I noticed a few contributor counts have drifted from the actual member rows. Listing here so they can be fixed in a follow-up (didn't want to expand this PR's scope):
The total-weight numbers added here are computed from the actual member rows, so they are accurate even where the stale counts disagree.
