I am using the package pgfgantt to create a table displaying people serving on a committee over a period of time. (Probably not what it was intended for but it produced a nice output for what I wanted.) The one issue I have run into was that I want the make the headings/title look like they would in my other tables. What I mean is that the "main" \gantttitle would have a \toprule etc. and the bottom of the table would have a \bottomrule. I have tried entering this type of code into the ganttchart but it won't compile.
I have a MWE that has a the Gantt Chart as I have it set up (but with some irrelevant fun data in it) and a smaller table to show the format I hope to be able to put on the chart.

I tried editing the Canvas in the ganttchart settings but that has only got me as far as what is in the MWE above. If you need any more info please let me know in the comments. Effectively what I would like is the main heading in the Gantt Chart to look like a table heading.

Here's one possibility; you first box the Gantt chart and then place it inside a TikZ named
\node; using\drawand the node anchors you can now easily place the rules.\heaverulewidthforline widthgives the thickness of\topruleand\bottomrule, and\lightrulewidthgives the one from\midrule; I also setinner xsepto\tabcolsepto have the usual horizontal padding for the contents of a table (you can set it to0ptif you want to).The code:
A variation on the same idea, but this time just the midlle rule is
