I don't know what this is a graph of, but if you look at the number of
patches in each of the CommitFests for the last couple of releases,
you see this:
9.0: 66, 40, 38, 60
9.1: 53, 52, 43, 96
9.2: 60, 52, 53, 104
There might be an upward trend there, but it isn't a very steep one.
It also seems pretty clear to me (although you are welcome to
disagree) that even if the *number* of patches in 9.2 was higher than
9.1, the average complexity was less, at least for the first three
CommitFests.
By the way, let's take a look at the major features list for 9.0 and
9.1, as well as who wrote them.
>From the 9.0 release notes:
- Streaming Replication (Fujii Masao - not a committer)
- Hot Standby (Simon Riggs - committer - though he wasn't when he
wrote the first version of this patch)
- GRANT/REVOKE IN SCHEMA (Petr Jelinek - not a committer)
- ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES (Petr Jelinek - not a committer)
- DO (Peter Jelinek - not a committer)
- 64-bit Windows (Tsutomu Yamada, Magnus Hagander - not a committer
and a committer, respectively)
- Better window functions (Hitoshi Harada - not a committer)
- ORDER BY for aggregates (Andrew Gierth - not a committer)
- Deferrable unique constraints (Dean Rasheed - not a committer)
- Exclusion constraints (Jeff Davis - not a committer)
- RADIUS (Magnus Hagander - a committer)
- LDAP improvements (Robert Fleming, Magnus Hagander - not a committer
and a committer, respectively)
- Better LISTEN/NOTIFY (Joachim Wieland - not a committer)
- Better VACUUM FULL (Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane - both now
committers, but Itagaki Takahiro became one only later)
- pg_upgrade (Bruce Momjian - a committer)
- join removal (Robert Haas - now a committer, but not then)
- EXPLAIN enhancements (Robert Haas - now a committer, but not then)
- hstore enhancments (Andrew Gierth - now a committer, but not then)
For the sake of the archives - Andrew Gierth is not a committer now either.
