Excellent, glad to hear it. > Right now I'm trying to provide some useful feedback to Paval for his > patch. Thanks, I deeply appreciate that. I believe that there are 29 people who submitted patches for this CommitFest, and that 4 of them are reviewing, yourself included. Furthermore, patches and feature proposals from people who are not themselves helping with the CommitFest have continued to roll in during this CommitFest. Personally, I find this quite objectionable. Apparently, CommitFest no longer means a time when people put aside their own patches to review those of others; it seems now to mean a time when 87% of the patch authors either continue development or ignore the CommitFest completely. Fortunately, a number of very competent people who did NOT submit patches nevertheless volunteered to help review, so we may be OK. But I am not sure this is a very sustainable solution. If everyone who submitted a pach for this CF had also reviewed one, every patch would now have a review and there would even be enough reviewers for major patches to have two each. Instead, we are still struggling to get every patch looked at once. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
