Added Apache Edgent podling report

  --------------------
  Edgent
  
- Edgent is a stream processing programming model and lightweight runtime to
- execute analytics at devices on the edge or at the gateway. (Formerly known as
- Quarks)
+ Apache Edgent is a programming SDK and micro-kernel style runtime
+ that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
+ local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
+ from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
+ all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
+ conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
+ efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
+ center to the edge.
  
  Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.
  
  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  
-   1.
-   2.
-   3.
+   1. Create and expand a diverse community of contributors and committers
+      around the Edgent project.
+   2. Attracting at least another independent committer/ppmc member.
+   3. Finding further real world users of Edgent
  
  Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
  aware of?
  
+   Community participation, implying interest in Edgent, continues
+   to be an issue.  One of the two active committer/PPMC members has
+   retired at the end of February and the level of their continuing
+   participation is has been significantly reduced since then. When a
+   security problem had been brought up on the private list, not a single
+   response from a second PPMC had been received.

+   * An article on Apache PLC4X has been published in the German iX magazine.
+      This article co-featured Apache Edgent
+      (https://www.heise.de/select/ix/2018/8/1533352444905693)
+   * The previous JavaSPEKTRUM article was published on the codecentric blog
+      and is now free to read for all.
+      (https://blog.codecentric.de/2018/06/edge-computing-industrial-iot-apache-edgent-apache-plc4x/)
+   * Total, we have 77 subscribers to our mailing list, an increase
+     of 1 since the last report.
+   * It was almost silent on the mailing lists until two new names popped up
+      asking question about a week ago.
  
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
- How would you assess the podling's maturity?
- Please feel free to add your own commentary.
  
+   * Even if no vulnerabilities were found in Edgent, we updated some of our
+      Dependencies no longer depend on third party artifacts that might contain
+      problems.
+   * According to JIRA, 1 new issue was added and none were resolved
+     in the last 90 days
+   * 2 commits were made in the last 90 days.
+ 
+ How would you assess the podling's maturity?
+ 
+   After withdrawal of most of the active committers and PPCM members currently
+   a new committer and PPMC base has to be built. We are still very hopeful that
+   we will be able to accomplish this task.
