There is different viewpoints on how it should happen. Hopefully the
picture will be clearer after one or two more commit fests.
Based on my observations, there's basically three different workflows a
patch can follow (assuming the patch gets committed in the end):
Workflow A:
1. You post patch to pgsql-patches
2. a committer picks it up immediately, and commits it.
Workflow B:
1. You post a patch to pgsql-patches
2. You add a link to the wiki page of the next commit fest
3. A committer picks up the patch from the wiki page, and commits it
Workflow C:
1. You post a patch to pgsql-patches
2. Bruce adds the patch to the unapplied patches queue after a while
3. At the beginning of the next commit fest, Alvaro (with the help from
others, I hope) goes through the patches queue, and puts a link to the
wiki page of the next commit fest
4. A committer picks up the patch from the wiki page, and commits it
