Addition of extra commit fest entry to park future patches

Hi all,

I guess that commit fest 2016-03 is going to begin soon, at which
point nobody will be able to add new patches because
1) already closed CF don't accept them.
2) A CF currently running neither.
I propose to create an extra CF, called "Future" or similar where
people will be able to park the patches submitted for the 9.7 cycle.
This will be renamed later on as the first CF of 9.7 once the
development schedule for 9.7 is decided.

Thoughts?

Yeah, we can do that. I'd suggest we either name it based on the current
tentative date for CF1 (september), or name it specificaly "9.7-first" or
something like that rather than just plain "future", to make it more clear.

+1 to both names suggested by Magnus.

We do need to pick one of them :)

Anybody else with preferences?

I would prefer to see a consistent namimg pattern (i.e., 2016-09)
and rename it if we reschedule.

I'm good with 9.7-first. I presume it can be renamed later to fit the
standard scheme?

2016-09 would be in keeping with all previous CF names. 9.7-first sounds
like it'd be more future-proof in case we change the schedule, but I'm not
sure about that either ... what if we decide over the summer that parallel
query is so cool that we should rename 9.6 to 10.0?

On balance I'd go with 2016-09, but I'm not going to argue very hard.

BTW, is there an ability to rename a CF once it's in the app? Seems like
that would reduce the stakes here.

I'm fine with that - it does help set expectations.

Yes, it's trivial to rename. That's the only advantage of our ugly url
scheme which uses the surrogate key in the url instead of the actual name
of the CF :)

2016-09 has been created then:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/10/
People, feel free to park future patches there.

I think that should be in status "open" rather than "future".
