With ten days left in the current CommitFest, being the last
CommitFest for 9.1 development, there are presently 40 patches that
are marked either Needs Review or Waiting on Author. The 11 patches
that are Waiting on Author are the following:
Synchronous Replication, transaction-controlled
Recovery Control
SQL/MED - postgresql_fdw
FDW API
Skip validation of Foreign Keys
Self-tuning checkpoint sync spread
PL/Python explicit subtransactions
keeping timestamp of the lasts stats reset
Named restore points
pg_stat_activity.client_hostname field
log_csv_fields ; add current_role log option
If you are the author of one of these patches, you need to post an
updated patch ASAP, or wait for 9.2. A number of these patches have
been sitting for WEEKS without an update. When you post your updated
patch (or if by chance you already did), please add a link to the
CommitFest application and change the status to Needs Review. Many of
these patches likely still need a few more rounds of review before
they are committed. If you wait until February 14th at 11:59pm to
update them, they're not going to make it in.

As for the patches that are marked Needs Review, some people have put
their names into the CommitFest application, indicating their intent
and commitment to review particular patches, and then have not done
so. If you are one of those people, please post your review to the
list and update the CommitFest application. If you are a reviewer who
has completed all of the reviewing you've previously signed up for,
and still want to do more, please consider jumping in on one of the
patches that still needs review, and help move the discussion along.
Even if you cannot do a full review, please review as much as you can
and post your feedback to the list. We need to determine which of
these patches are viable candidates for 9.2 and which are not. If you
are a patch author and your patch is marked as needing review, please
double-check that it still applies and has not bitrotted, and verify
that you have responded to all feedback previously given, so that if
someone has time to review your patch they can do so productively.
Thanks,
