Board Report

[Jan Lehnardt <ja...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

I just submitted this board report

—

## Description:
Apache CouchDB software is a document-oriented database that can be queried and 
indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers 
incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache CouchDB was founded 2008-11-19 (12 years ago)
There are currently 67 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- 1 new PMC members: Glynn Bird on 2020-09-19.
- No new committers. Last addition was Alessio Biancalana on 2020-02-27.


## Project Activity:

Version 3.1.1 was released on 2020-09-18. This is a bugfix release.

Foundational work for the upcoming 4.0 version is still going strong. There are
no immediate release plans, but the `main` development branch is now
representing this future release. Current stable releases are still maintained
on the `3.x` branch.

We are in the process of switching all `master` branches to `main`.


## Community Health:

Development activity is up on all metrics after a usual slower summer quarter.

user@ discussions are declining, but other forums of community support like
GitHub Dissuasions and the community Slack are bustling.
