In general you find that a series consists of 2 parts: 1) a set of refactorings to
enable a new feature and 2) the new feature itself. Even if the details of 2) are
still under discussion, often it is possible to merge 1) fairly quickly which also
has the knock-on effect of reducing the size of later iterations of the series. This
also helps with new contributors since having parts of the series merged sooner helps
them feel valued and helps to provide immediate feedback.

Something else I also notice is that PostgreSQL doesn't have a MAINTAINERS or
equivalent file, so when submitting patches it's difficult to know who is expected to
review and/or commit changes to a particular part of the codebase (this is true both
with and without the CF system).
ATB,
