I'll take a look.

Please don't feel constrained by the "template", which is only there to make sure important information isn't omitted. Add anything you think is relevant to the status of the podling.

I added an overview section with a paragraph dealing with general
state of things.

As Brett stated, please do not constrain yourself with the template.
That's the minimal set of information that is asked. Projects are
encouraged to provide a more details if they feel it's warranted.
Specifically for Cloudstack, I'd suggest adding a paragraph just before the
list of issues that describes the state of the community. Nothing major at
all. Something like:
-------------
Cloudstack just entered the incubator a couple of weeks ago. Since then,
the mailing list has been setup and discussions have started to move to
there with several "new names" participating due to the new Apache location.
Currently, the code repository is still at Citrix, but the community is
looking forward to getting that moved to Apache as soon as possible.
------------
Basically, the list of issues is just that, a list of issues. While the
issues are important, I'd normally like to see the POSSITIVE things going
on in the community as well. I haven't followed the development closely,
has anyone submitted a new patch? This early, that would be a good thing.
Not a big deal as the current report covers the minimum requirements, but I
usually hate aiming for the minimum. :-)

OK, I just added that as a fourth issue. Thanks.
