I’m +1 on dropping Erlang 19 support. Erlang is now on major release 23. I’d further advocate a general policy of supporting only the most recent 2 or 3 major releases of Erlang/OTP.
The main (I think only?) reason to keep compatibility so far back is because of the versions supported by some OS’es. I don’t feel that is a strong reason given the couchdb install, in common with Erlang-based projects, is self-contained. The existence of Erlang Solutions packages for all common platforms is also a factor.
