Thank you. I understood that it's the best and perhaps only way to search
the pgsql-committers mail archive periodically. I would be happy if some
bug/issue tracker could kindly notify the issuer of status changes via
email.

I'll add my patch to either of CommitFest or Open Items list a few days
later. (But I'm reluctant to pollute those pages with bug fixes which apply
to previous versions. That can't be helped.)
