PostgreSQL 16 Release Management Team & Feature Freeze

[Jonathan S. Katz]

Hi,

We are pleased to announce the Release Management Team (RMT) (cc'd) for
the PostgreSQL 16 release:

   - Alvaro Herrera
   - Amit Kapila
   - Jonathan Katz

You can find information about the responsibilities of the RMT here:

On behalf of the PG16 RMT,

Jonathan

Additionally, the RMT has set the feature freeze to be **April 8, 2023 at 0:00 AoE**[1]. This is the last time to commit features for PostgreSQL 16. In other words, no new PostgreSQL 16 feature can be committed after April 8, 2023 at 0:00 AoE. Finally, the Release Team is considering making April 8 0:00 AoE the standard feature freeze date/time for future years. This has been the cutoff over the past several years, and standardizing will give predictability to when the feature development cycle ends. If you have reasons why this should not be the case, please voice your concerns.
