I think asking submitters to add their patches is a good idea and in fact
Heikki's suggestion of having the wiki be primarily driven by submitters is a
good idea. It gives people a central place to go back and check and find all
the collected reviews and CVS status of their work and keeps us honest.
I would like to suggest a few attributes we want for each patch:
1) Patch maturity (whether it was proposed as a design, WIP, or submission for committing).
2) Reviewers interested in working on the patch. I think it would help organize ourselves and make sure all the
patchesget covered. Also, it would help get people involved who are otherwise overtaken by more "senior" postgres
hackers.Those hackers would probably focus on patches that were beyond the ability of more "junior" hackers and were
otherwisegetting ignored.
3) Committers working on integrating the code. No point in risking duplication.
My first instinct is to convert it to a table. But perhaps we could just stick
these attributes in the current format as sublist items under each major
bullet point.
