Well, we do have a right, e.g., we would not allow someone to repeatedly
post patches for a Postgres extension we don't manage, or the jdbc
driver. I also don't think we would allow someone to continue posting
patches for a feature we have decided to reject, and I think we have
decided to reject the patch in in its current form. I think we might
accept a trimmed-down version, but I don't see the patch moving in that
direction.
Now, of course, if I am the only one who feels this way, I can suppress
these emails on my end.
