The next CommitFest is scheduled to start in a week. So far, it doesn't look too bad, though a lot could change between now and then.
I would personally prefer not to be involved in the management of the next CommitFest. Having done all of the July CommitFest and a good chunk of the September CommitFest, I am feeling a bit burned out. One pretty major fly in the ointment is that neither Hot Standby nor Streaming Replication has been committed or shows much sign of being about to be committed. I think this is bad. These are big features that figure to have some bugs and break some things. If they're not committed in time for alpha3, then there won't be any significant testing of these prior to alpha4/beta1, at the earliest. I think that's likely to lead to either (1) a very long beta period followed by a late release or (2) a buggy release. I feel like Simon Riggs and Fujii Masao really pulled out all the stops to get these ready in time for the September CommitFest, and while I'm not in a hurry to break the world, I think the sooner these can hit the tree, the better of we'll be in terms of releasing 8.5.
