Here's the draft report for Taverna.
Reply here or edit in wiki.
Taverna
Taverna is a domain-independent suite of tools used to design and execute
data-driven workflows.
Taverna has been incubating since 2014-10-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Re-engage PMC to encourage regular activity
2. Retiring irrelevant git repositories
3. Graduate!
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Community slow. Considering retiring, but will try one last push.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Quite a few pull requests, but need follow ups.
Non-PPMC committers have taken more charge in release preparation.
Email stats since 2017-09-01:
dev@taverna: 29
users@taverna: 2
How has the project developed since the last report?
Very slow progress towards graduation.
Some progress towards next releases - need implicit Release Manager
delegation.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

In Dec 2016, the report said "Preparing to graduate." In 2017, the dev@ list
has been quiet and the last release was in 2016.
While the PPMC is large, not everyone has been active in incubation. I am
worried that pushing through graduation will only result in the same situation
as a TLP.
The community needs to consider what is the best environment for Taverna.

I have admitted lack of leadership. I think we should seriously consider
retiring, but only after a 6 month push towards getting graduation done.
