Not a lot, though certainly I'd be willing to disengage from trivial
patches if someone else picked them up.

One problem with this fest was that a whole lot of the patches *weren't*
trivial; if they had been they'd not have gotten put off till 8.4.  So
there weren't that many that I wanted to let go in without looking at
them.  I guess that's just another way in which the 8.3 schedule problem
came home to roost during this fest.

In future fests we should have a much higher proportion of "little
things" that maybe more people would feel comfortable taking
responsibility for.

Perhaps it would be useful to try to rate pending patches by difficulty?
        regards, tom lane
