2014-10 CommitFest

I just tripped over that CommitFest mace that went missing after
Heikki put it down from the last CF.  Unless someone else wants to
pick it up, I'll manage this one.

Just to get the ball rolling, I note that 19 patches were moved to
this CF from the last one.  These are in the following states:

Committed pg_dump refactor to remove global variables

Ready for Committer Using Levenshtein distance to HINT a candidate column name Custom Plan API pgcrypto: support PGP
signaturespg_basebackup vs. Windows and tablespaces   (Extend base backup to include symlink file used to restore
symlinks)run xmllint during build
 

Waiting on Author Function returning the timestamp of last transaction Flush buffers belonging to unlogged tables

Needs Review - with reviewer(s) Selectivity estimation for inet operators Fix local_preload_libraries to work as
expected.KNN-GiST with recheck Abbreviated keys   (Was: Sort support for text with strxfrm() poor man's keys) Scaling
sharedbuffer eviction Foreign table inheritance Grouping Sets Allow parallel cores to be used by vacuumdb storage
parameterspecifying the maximum size of GIN pending list Stating the significance of Lehman & Yao in the nbtree README
 

Needs Review - without reviewer Fix xpath() to return namespace definitions   (fixes the issue with nested or repeated
xpath())

So it would be particularly nice if someone could sign up for that
last one.

If nobody else jumps in just itching to manage this CF, I'll follow
up tomorrow with more details.  Meanwhile, please sign up to review
a patch!

Since there was no previous warning, I'll allow a grace day for the
cut-off on submissions for this CF; if it isn't registered in the
web application 24 hours after this email, I will move it to the
next CF.  So look for those patches that "fell through the cracks"
without getting registered, and post the ones you've got.

[ rings bell ]

So the 2014-10 CF is now In Progress and the 2014-12 CF is Open.

There are 86 patches listed at this time:

Needs Review: 69
Waiting on Author: 5
Ready for Committer: 10
Committed: 2

We've got four weeks if we're going to return or commit all of
these by the scheduled end of the CF.  Since many of these have
already had significant review, my hope is that we can "hit the
ground running" and wrap things up in a timely fashion so we have a
break before the start of the *next* CF.

Please remember, if you are submitting patches, you should be
reviewing patches, too.  Otherwise development will hit a logjam.
