Well, I think I'm definitely on the hook for the pg_stat_statements,
pgsql_fdw, foreign table stats, and caching-stable-subexpressions
patches, and I should look at the libpq alternate row returning
mechanism because I suspect I was the last one to mess with that libpq
code in any detail. I don't claim any special insight into the other
stuff on the list. In particular I've not been paying much attention
to command triggers.

The main reason I proposed setting a schedule a few weeks ago was that
I was afraid the commitfest would otherwise end precisely in a "we're
tired out, we're punting everything to 9.3" moment. Without some
definite goal to work towards, it'll just keep stretching out until
we've had enough. I'd prefer it end in a more orderly fashion than
that. The end result will be the same, in the sense that some of the
stuff that's still-not-ready-for-committer is going to get punted,
but people might have a less bad taste in their mouths about why.
