Over the past few months, with help from rnewsom, jan and others, we've been able to create a Snap[1] package for CouchDB 2.x that I would like to make available through the Snap Store.
The Snap Store encourages upstreams to publish their packages themselves, rather than depending on distro developers to do so. Registering a package in the store is currently limited to individual accounts, there's no support yet for teams, which means that someone would need to register "apache-couchdb" as a developer account in the store. They can then share upload rights for the couchdb snap with other individuals, but it needs to be owned by someone to start with. On IRC there was some discussion about how to approach this, with the suggestion that someone on the PMC could register the owning account, using the ASF mailing address[2] and their own email. This should require very little work to setup, and almost no work after the initial setup. So I'm asking if anyone on the PMC would be willing to take this up and help us get the snap package published to users.
