The IETF WG name is still RTCWeb, the mailing list is still rtcweb@ietf.org, the IETF drafts should still have "-rtcweb-" in them to indicate the WG name.

As -overview editor, I'm happy to include this definition.

Just because I have to write it in a terminology list, I wonder how I 
should define it.

Is it an effort? A technology? A project?

It should be something like:

WebRTC
      A <something> that <someting> to enable peer to peer audio and 
video between browsers
     on the Internet.
     Components of WebRTC include a protocol profile, defined in the 
IETF, of which this document
     gives an overview, and an API, defined in the W3C, and specified in 
<reference>

Suggestions for the <something>s (or alternate formulations) would be 
most welcome.
