Well, you're the dblink expert. If you think it should be rejected
I doubt many of us will argue with you.

FWIW, if left to my own devices I will eventually get to everything
except the dblink, ecpg, and encoding/win32 patches. I don't intend
to touch any of those because there are other committers better
qualified to review them. (I don't actually think we have anybody
except Michael who's really familiar with ecpg.)

However, if no other committers are working on it it's going to be
a long commitfest ...

The other problem is that most of the patches are not Ready for
Committer anyway.

Yep. CommitFest doesn't mean "commit it"; it means "decide whether to
commit it". Things being rejected or returned with feedback for
further improvement is fine; we're just trying to avoid long periods
with no response at all.

Thanks, I think that's helpful information.

That is my concern as well.

I (and hopefully the people who agreed to help with patch-chasing) can
work on this, but given that there are 5 that are Ready for Committer
and probably as many more that are close, and further given that in
the past 7 days exactly 1 patch from the CommitFest has been
committed, I'm not sure there's a real problem here. If you
commit/bounce all 5 of those afternoon I will spend the evening making
sure you have a few more to tackle tomorrow.

I have been (and still am somewhat) slammed, but I can probably make
space to work on "Encoding issues in console and eventlog on win32
<https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=148>" some time
in the next day or three. After that, if I still have time and nobody
else has grabbed it, I'll move on to "CREATE LIKE INCLUDING COMMENTS and
STORAGE <https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=172>".

cheers
