This is still listed in the July commitfest; is there some work remaining?
I'm late to the party, but regarding commit c03c2eae0a, which added the
guidelines for writing formatting desc functions:
You moved the comment from rmgrdesc_utils.c into rmgrdesc_utils.h, but I
don't think that was a good idea. Our usual convention is to have the
function comment in the .c file, not at the declaration in the header
file. When I want to know what a function does, I jump to the .c file,
and might miss the comment in the header entirely.
Let's add a src/backend/access/rmgrdesc/README file. We don't currently
have any explanation anywhere why the rmgr desc functions are in a
separate directory. The README would be a good place to explain that,
and to have the formatting guidelines. See attached.
