Do you think these acronyms make it difficult for some to contribute to
Postgres? I've always felt that they were pretty easy to figure out and a
nice way to save some typing for common phrases, but I'm not sure it's ever
really been discussed
I do think it raises the bar a bit, especially for non-native-English speakers. Granted, the learning curve is not super high, and context plus web searching can usually help people out, but the lists are dense enough already, so I wanted to help people out. Also, mailing lists in general are a pretty foreign concept to young developers, and as AFAICT [1], not all the acronyms have crossed to the texting world.
