Finding reviewing volunteers is a good thing, particularly on these
times where we tend to have more patches than reviews, however I would
suggest prioritizing the older items by beginning in what is in the
current CF (47 items waiting for review at I write this message), 3
patches for the sorting work.

FWIW, I think that this series of patches is interesting and have high
value because particularly I have seen clear improvements particularly
with raw dumps on schemas with many indexes (disclaimer: I am the guy
Peter talked to regarding this patch though this was not on the top
head nor of my TODOs).

I'm willing, but I'm too new to the codebase to be an effective reviewer (without guidance). The one thing I can offer in the mean time is this: my company/client nearly always has a few spare AWS machines on the largish side where I can compile uncommitted patches and benchmark stuff for y'all.
