Commitfest 2011-6 is underway! Reviewers needed.
Hackers,
The first commitfest for PostgreSQL 9.2 has now started.
As such, if you have a patch for 9.2 which was not yet submitted, you
should add it to CommitFest 2011-9
(https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view?id=11).
Currently we have 53 open patches. 17 of them need reviewers. If you
are not actively involved with finishing 9.1, you should be helping the
project by reviewing patches!
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch
If you are a code contributor to PostgreSQL, then we especially need
your help for second-level review and for the more difficult patches.
Particularly since Tom, Robert, Heikki, Kevin, Dan and Peter are pretty
much tied up with 9.1 beta.
One special thing we need is folks who can review Windows-specific
patches. Currently we don't have *anyone* doing this, and those patches
are liable to be deferred because of it. To do this, you need to be
able to build PostgreSQL on Windows, using MSVC++ or otherwise.
Please let me know if you can help with reviewing a patch. You can pick
one on your own, or you can join pgsql-rrreviewers and I'll assign you one.

All,
I've trolled this list, and I think I added in all patches which were
submitted here but not on the commitfest app. Can someone double-check
for me?

There's a "read and heed" that's appropriate here...
As hard as we may try, if you imagine your patch should be going into
PostgreSQL in the near future, you really ought to check for its
presence at <http://commitfest.postgresql.org>, in one of the
commitfests dated in 2011, because others that weren't necessarily
aware of its existence mightn't notice its absence.
Setting up authentication information and logging in to manage it
would be an awesome thing for Sterling Community Characters to do, but
it may suffice to make sure that *someone* has been poked into
awareness! :-)
I'll be taking a poke at some patch or another; the more of us that do
so, the less we impose on those that are trying to get 9.1 out of
beta!

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
