Thread: commit fest status and release timeline

Status Summary. Needs Review: 36, Waiting on Author: 7, Ready for
Committer: 16, Committed: 43, Returned with Feedback: 8, Rejected: 4.
Total: 114.

We're still on track to achieve about 50% committed patches, which would
be similar to the previous few commit fests.  So decent job so far.

Which brings us to important news.  The core team has agreed on a
release timeline:

- Mar 15 end commit fest
- Apr 15 feature freeze
- May 15 beta

This is similar to the last few years, so it shouldn't come as a shock
to anyone.

Let's use the remaining two weeks to give all patches in the commit fest
fair consideration and a decent review.  The time to reject or postpone
patches will inevitably come in the time between the end of the commit
fest and feature freeze.  Note that it is everyone's individual
responsibility to move their favorite patch forward.

So, other than Hstore2/JSONB and Logical Changesets, what are the
big/difficult patches left?

For me, I'd really like to see the reduced locks on ALTER TABLE.

The patch by Peter to improve test coverage for client programs. This
is helpful for QE/QA teams evaluating Postgres, and it could be
extended for other things like replication test suite as well as far
as I understood.

I'm wondering what is the best way to select a patch to review. I mean,
there are many patches with "needs review" (and often no reviewer) just
one or two comments, but when I checked the email archives there's often
a lot people discussing it.

Do we have a list of patches that didn't get a proper review yet / badly
need another one?

What about improving the commitfest page by displaying a number of
related e-mail messages / number of people involved? Shouldn't be
difficult to get this from the mail archives ...
