Core is in charge of releases. I believe like the other semi and formal
organizations around this community it makes sense for Core to present a
motion and for that motion to be voted upon. The vote can take place
publicly (and there is an argument that it should) but it is a vote for
core not hackers or general.
In short, Josh, Bruce, you are both core members. If you want to call a
vote, do so. Something like this should suffice:
WHEREAS
1. The Core Committee of PGDG is responsible for releases of PostgreSQL
2. The feature "Grouping Sets" is a major feature for the upcoming
release of PostgreSQL
THE CORE COMMITTEE RESOLVES THAT
3. In an effort to produce a fair and equitable return for the efforts
put in by contributors of the Grouping Sets patch, the core committee
will extend feature freeze for the Grouping Sets patch for exactly 7 days.
4. This extension is for the Grouping Sets patch and the Grouping Sets
patch only.
5. Should a committable patch not be produced within 7 days, the patch
shall be pushed back into the queue for the production release of
PostgreSQL.
Sincerely,
JD
P.S. Note that I have seen the "final" patch that hit the list about 45
minutes ago.
