You're welcome.  It was educational for me.  I don't think I want to
try to handle two in a row, and I think your style is better suited
than mine to the final CF for a release, but I might be able to take
on the 2010-11 CF if people want that.
My hand was not always so light behind the scenes, though -- I sent
or received about 100 off-list emails to try to keep things moving. 
Hopefully nobody was too offended by my nagging.  :-)
Oh, and thanks for putting together the CF web application.  Without
that, I couldn't have done half as well as I did.

Yes, I'll second that!  I've always been impressed with the
PostgreSQL community, and managing this CF gave me new insights and
appreciation for the intelligence, professionalism, and community
spirit of its members -- authors, reviewers, and committers.
