While the changes look good to me, the comment of GetPublicationsStr()
seems not match what the function actually does:
+/*
+ * Add publication names from the list to a string.
+ */
+void
+GetPublicationsStr(List *publications, StringInfo dest, bool quote_literal)
It's true that the function adds publication names to the given
StringInfo, but it seems to me that the function expects the string is
empty. For example, if we call this function twice with the same
publication list, say 'pub1' and 'pub2', it would return a string
'pub1,pub2pub1,pub2'. I think we can improve the description of this
function to something like "Build a comma-separated string from the
given list of publication names.".
