Just before a release would actually be a bad time to contribute the
code, if you want to get it accepted into PostgreSQL, as the people who
would be competent to review and potentially accept it all tend to be
very busy just before a release. There have been disappointed people in
the past for that very reason. The earlier you publish your code, the
better.
