Here is new version of the patch for GiST VACUUM.
There are two main changes:
1. During rescan for page deletion only know to be recently empty pages are rescanned.
2. I've re-implemented physical scan with array instead of hash table.

I'm very glad this patch isn't forgotten.  I've assigned to review this patch.
My first note on this patchset is following.  These patches touches sensitive aspects or GiST and are related to complex concurrency issues.
Thus, I'm sure both of them deserve high-level description in src/backend/access/gist/README.  Given this description, it would be much easier to review the patches.
