I'm a tad concerned about this statement. Notwithstanding which copyright assignment were performed in the past, I just wanted to double check that every copyright holder of CouchDB code agrees to donate their software to the ASF via a copyright assignment. While individuals will still retain their copyright, the one and only way to work with Apache is with the foundation having code copyright assigned.
The ASF does not use copyright assignments. The ICLA is a copyright licence from the copyright holder to the ASF, not an assignment.
The ASF claims copyright on the collected work. Dan.
