In this light, I would like to make two points:

provably false.
MarkMail has archives of many of the ASF mailing lists. The archive
for httpd, the original project goes back to 1999:
<http://httpd.markmail.org/search/?q=PMC>
In that almost 10 year period: 247 references of any kind to PMC in
the dev list.
For CouchDB's 1 years, 79 references in the dev list.
<http://couchdb.markmail.org/search/?q=PMC>
What I said:
I don't know if this is what Geir means, but there is a lot of use
of the letters PMC in messages on the list. Much more than usual,
in my experience. That may sound like a small thing, but that
kind of small thing, repeated over time, can lead to a highly
stratified community, which is undesirable.
So we have 79/yr for couch and 25/yr for httpd. that's 3x.
Also, absent from your list of messages is the long thread in user@
titled
"Current CouchDB state", which has numerous usages, as well as a
troubling exchange with Jim Jagielski.
I'm very disappointed that we've now degenerated into message counting.
