I've been looking over the older items in the CF, specifically those in
the "bug fix" category.
Six of them are marked "ready for committer" and all of those have a
committer named as either author or reviewer. It would be good to get
those committed as soon as possible. So Heikki, Michael, Alexander,
Simon, Etsuro and Thomas, that means you :-) Pleas claim and commit
those if possible, or at least move them forward.
In one of those cases, "ConvertRowtypeExpr reference errors from
partition-wise join", the patch has been marked Ready for Committer and
then Etsuro seems to have changeed his mind. If it's not ready it should
be set back to "needs review" or "waiting for author".
Two other items in that list have been around for embarrassingly large
amounts of time.
"Fix the optimization to skip WAL-logging on table created in same
transaction" has been in 10 (!) commitfests. It's seen no substantive
action since November. It has a bunch of authors and reviewers listed,
Surely somebody can move it forward?
"Fix a bug that can prevent standby from restarting" has been around for
6 CFs. This appears to be covered by commit
0668719801838aa6a8bda330ff9b3d20097ea844. Can we just closed this one
out? If there's more work left to do another CF item could be added.
Of the rest that have been around since January,
"pg_rewind corrupts control file global/pg_control" discussion stopped
in April. Tom had made some comments to which Michael responded.
"Temporary tables prevent autovacuum, leading to XID wraparound"
discussion stopped in March, with some possible disagreement between
Robert and Tom.
"Configuring messages language on Windows" has never been reviewed at all.
"Produce a crash dump before main() on Windows", discussion stopped in
March.
"fix constraint exclusion failure for certain partition key types"
appears to need some extra attention, especially from people who have a
deep knowledge of constraint exclusion.
