CouchDB is on GitHub, most development happens here:

We wholeheartedly agree and a lot of the work that went into 2.1 is allowing us 
to make more stable releases faster.

That said, in a world of JavaScript Framework of the Week, we’re a database and 
that means we have to do things at a different pace.

CouchDB is responsible for many magnitudes of terabytes of data and at the core 
of many crucial business, civic infrastructure and healthcare applications and 
all our users trust that CouchDB will hold on to that data reliably. That’s a 
responsibility we all take very seriously, so things are happening at a more 
deliberate and necessarily slower pace.

We realise that this makes CouchDB less attractive to the casual contributor, 
and we want to make that better in the areas we see relevant, but I think we 
collectively appreciate the slower pace, so everyone here has enough time to 
keep up with everything, to make sure everybody had a chance to think through 
any new code, and thus reduce the amount of errors we end up shipping.

Best
Jan
