I wasn't so much looking for projects to put under the DB wing, but thinking of people who might be interested in LDAPd. An LDAP most definately is *not* an RDBMS, but it is a protocol for accessing hierarchical databases. After filesystems and DNS, ldap's are probably the most widely used hierarchical databases around.
I for one would be more than happy to contribute LDAPd, particularly if said alternative is Java embedable.
So, if it comes to a vote and I am allowed to vote, it has my +1.

A high-profile new project could help liven up DB some ;-)
I think that naming and directory services are sufficiently different from
an ODBMS or RDBMS.
DB might want to consider adopting Jakarta Commons DBCP. That topic has
come up before, and didn't lack support.
There are some other candidates that the DB PMC could look into incubating
and adopting. For example, http://axion.tigris.org/ is a rather obvious
candidate, especially considering the committer list (geir jvanzyl mpoeschl
rwald).
Firebird would be nice, but they seem more interested in selling memberships
in their foundation, which is completely incompatible with the ASF
meritocracy.
There there are ODBMS such as Ozone (wrong license, though).
