IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED.  This PostgreSQL 10 open item is past due for
your status update.  Please reacquaint yourself with the policy on open item
ownership[1] and then reply immediately.  If I do not hear from you by
2017-05-19 16:00 UTC, I will transfer this item to release management team
ownership without further notice.
