CommitFest 2009-09 Plans and Call for Reviewers

Folks,

CommitFest 2009-09 is now only days away!  I have been having
discussions with a number of people, and the result of those
discussions is that I have agreed to manage the next CommitFest
insofar as patch assignment is concerned.  Selena Deckelmann, Stephen
Frost, and Brendan Jurd have agreed to assist with what we're calling
patch-chasing: that is, making sure that discussions around a patch
don't die, and that it gets marked as Commited, Returned with
Feedback, or Rejected in a timely fashion, so that the CommitFest
overall gets closed out in a timely fashion.  We're tentatively
looking at dividing up responsibility for patch-chasing by topic, as
follows:

Brendan Jurd: SQL Features, Procedural Languages
Stephen Frost: Security, Contrib, Miscellaneous
Selena Deckelmann: Performance, Clients

Hopefully this plan is acceptable to everyone.  If not, please feel
free to reply here.

And that brings me to the next topic.  Although I have received many
endorsements of the way that I managed the last CommitFest, for which
I am grateful, I think that the real key to a good CommitFest is to
have a good group of reviewers.  We had an excellent group of
reviewers for the last CommitFest and I am hoping that all of those
people will volunteer again.  Of course, we also need new reviewers!

Please send me an email (without copying the list) if you are
available to review; feel free to include any information that might
be helpful in assigning you an appropriate patch.
