Thanks a lot Fuji-san!

For the record, the commit is available, but I didn't receive the
usual mail, and it's also not present in the archives apparently:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-committers/since/202004090000/
(although Amit's latest commit was delivered as expected).

Given your previous discussion with Magnus, I'm assuming that your
address is now allowed to post for a year. I'm not sure what went
wrong here, so I'm adding Magnus in Cc.
