With some lazy Sunday slack, the 2009-11 CommitFest is now officially closed. Due to a bumper crop of review volunteers, almost all patches are already assigned an initial reviewer. Here are the notable exceptions:

SE-PostgreSQL/Lite: It's hard to find a reviewer willing to take on a patch this large. The work to review here has dropped considerably since the last rev of this, which is good progress. But much like Hot Standby and Streaming Replication, I fear we may be at the point where this patch needs a more dedicated long-term reviewer attached to it, rather than presuming we can grab one from the RRR pool.

Listen / Notify rewrite: I feel this one has attached enough review on this list already to qualify as "returned with feedback". Once the design for payload and memory allocation settles down, I encourage Joachim to resubmit an updated version during this CF. If that's within the next two weeks, we do have some fresh reviewers who aren't available yet but are lined up for a second round in December if necessary. We can certainly ask one of them to do a deeper dive into the patch at that point. This feature has enough pent up demand for it (and modest complexity) such that I don't expect a problem finding people to review it and eventually get it committed during 8.5, even if that bounces to the next CF.

Memory management probes and SLRU/executor probes: With these coming just before the deadline I wasn't able to nail down someone who had the ability to test DTrace code in the first round. I'd welcome a review volunteer who is looking to play with DTrace to take a look at either or both patches. If that doesn't happen, eventually I'll just review them myself.
