Thread: [HACKERS] Upcoming commit fest will begin soon

Hi all,

At the moment of this email, it is 15:25 AOE, so you still have close
to 8 hours to register patches for the upcoming the commit fest:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/14/

This commit fest is large, as expected from any first commit fest for
a new development cycle, with still close to 210 patches waiting for
review, input from author and a committer. And it is as well the
largest commit fest in PG history.

Please do not forget that for any patch submitted, an author should
review one patch of similar difficulty. This is hard to quantify, but
do not hesitate to review patches in areas of the code that you have
little or no knowledge of. I have myself 10 patches still pending in
the CF, so I am planning to take my share of lookup and comments.

Another question is: who would like to become the CF manager for this
time? This commit fest is very large, so it is going to be difficult
for one person to do the whole thing, hence at least 2 people would be
welcome. Please note that I am not directly volunteering for this one,
but per my number of patches I need to look at many things, so I may
be considered as a sort of co-manager ;)
New heads for this exercise would be nice though.

Thanks,
--

I volunteer to be co-managing this CF.  Since I’ve never done it before, and
the CF in question is rather large I wouldn’t mind it co-managing it with
someone as you mention.

Thanks for volunteering, Daniel. This is a difficult task. As you are
yourself familiar with the community process in reviewing patches, I
think you'll do fine.
