Welcome! I'm also glad you've chosen this project.

Yes, we with Atri Sharma will mentor this project.

Cool!

don’tneed much time to get familiar with the code base. If things go smoothly, I can start coding ahead of schedule
Great!

Well, I think it is up to you how to make reproducible, precise and correct benchmarking :)
You can make exec (we will not have to merge it into PG, we need just results), or you can make Postgres extension (it
ismuch easier) which will be executed from psql.

As far as I know, proposal cannot be modified. Actual work can be slightly adjusted though.

Let's establish communication. You can also build PostgreSQL from git and try pgbench (tool for benchmarking overall
performance).Read something about TPC-(A,B,C) and YCSB, and may be even read something about sysbench.
I can think of following mediums of communications:
1. Slack channel
2. Telegram chat
3. Skype chat
4. E-mail
Atri, Kefar, how do you think, which of these will do best for us?
