It would be very valuable if you can review the code, test it under the
weirdest conditions you can imagine or just under normal conditions,
proof-read the documentation, try to see if anything is missing that
should be there, and so on. Everything that you would expect from a new
feature released as part of the next Postgres release. Any
problems/crashes/ abnormalities that you report before the patch is
included in Postgres, is one less issue that we'll have to deal with
after the release.
