[REPORT] CouchDB

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

Dear CouchDB Community,

I’ve just submitted this report to the ASF board:

## 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 (13 years ago)
There are currently 68 committers and 16 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Jonathan Hall on 2020-02-12.
- No new committers. Last addition was Balázs Donát Bessenyei on 2021-01-14.


## Project Activity:
- released 3.2.0 to acclaim as well as 3.2.1.
- extended ownership of convenience windows binaries from one individual
  contributor to a team that includes entirely new contributors (ongoing). 
- increased visibility of CouchDB sub-components that might be useful
  for other Erlang-based projects (as a trojan horse to attract new
  contributors, and initial reactions are promising).


## Community Health:
- notable uptake in unofficial Slack support community including more folks
  helping out with answering questions.
- increase in all around project activity as well.
  
Best
Jan
