broken URL in commitfest page

From
Alvaro Herrera
Date:
In the current commitfest page we have this entry:
pg_start_backup checkpoint issue 

However the URL it points to is broken (there's no message-id)

What to do about it?

The "Join Removal" item fails to point to a patch, also.

Nothing yet. It's a minor issue, but not one I wanted to forget, but the
patch doesn't currently exist as a separate patch.

If we do anything, it needs to happen after we'd worked out what's
happening with the big patches that touch xlog.c

We really need some form of author-set priority scheme or way of
recording dependencies between patches.

I've removed that entry now. The patch was being worked on by Jonah but
it looks like we didn't make the deadline.

Well, what is the official deadline on it?  It, like several other
patches on the wiki, was a WIP.  I'm hopeful that RI-based join
elimination for JOIN_INNER should be ready tonight based on your and
Tom's comments.

I think you should post what you have now as WIP. It will make it easier
to discuss the questions you raise above.

Jonah -

Do you have an updated patch for this?  If it's too late for 8.4,
maybe we can get something into 8.5?  It would be nice to see what
progress has been made, even if it is only WIP.

Thanks,

...Robert
