There is, although I think a large fraction of it will get bounced as
"needs more work", which should reduce the pressure.  We'll just be
trying to give feedback to let the patch authors move forward, which
will not take as much time as actually committing would take.

The current queue is
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches_hold
Note that a lot of the bulk is discussion of things that aren't
anywhere near committable anyway.
