CF 2022-11: entries "Ready for Committer" with recent activity - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi

This is an overview of the current patches marked "Ready for Committer"
which have been actively worked on during the current CF.

They largely fall into two categories:
- active participation from likely committers
- have been reviewed and marked as "RfC", but need committer interest

Dates in parentheses represent the last mail on the relevant thread.

the thread to do it.
