We're entering the last planned week of the CF. Apart from a 72-hour period
in mid-November, some CF has remained in-progress continuously for the last
176 days. With 64 out of the 82 current patches unresolved, we're on track to
again see no gap between CF 2012-11 and CF 2013-01. The process as practiced
today is a shell of its former self[1]http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest[2]http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_a_CommitFest. Authors, reviewers, committers:
has the process changed to something better, worthy of formally replacing its
predecessor? Or, rather, do we need a fresh process correction?

Thanks,
nm

I agree that lately there seems to be minimal benefit of the commitfest
process. I don't see many disadvantages either, but...

No idea how to fix that, it seems most people are simply swamped with
work and stuff.

I made a pass through most of the commitfest entries to update their
state to something sensible and where it seemed necessary inquired the
newest status.
Not sure thats really welcome, but it was the only thing I could think
of helping to make some progress.

Greetings,

Andres Freund

Belated thanks for doing that.
