I think that would pretty much kill the process for any committer who
is not employed to work full-time on postgresql *development*. Those
who have other dayjobs (which may well be postgresql consulting or
training or whatever) will probably end up dealing with significantly
fewer patches, leaving even more of the burden on those who do have
the dedicated schedule. I know I don't do as much reviewing/comitting
as I'd like to do during the commitfests, but with a process like
that, it would probably become more or less zero.
