Reading this I see two big chunks: lots of minor template/JS tweaks and an import of some PouchDB sources. The PouchDB is almost exactly 50% of the lines added. Russel could have probably organized his commits a bit better to indicate that but given our relatively lax attitude to maintaining a clean history I can't really ding him on it.
I understand that its good to be sure and clear things that need it, but I don't think the level of work here rises to that standard. OTOH, I think this is pointing out that we still haven't fully groked how to deal with GitHub PRs at the ASF. In a perfect world I'd turn them off and force everyone to submit code via mailing list. Granted that's probably a super minority position but I think we could use some more concrete project specific guidelines on contributions via PR.
