Well, patches are patches, and it's easier for the committers to spot
proposed patches that go by on pgsql-patches. However, the people who
are competent to review JDBC patches all seem to be hanging out on the
JDBC list. Seems like there are a couple of ways that we could handle
this:

1. First draft of a JDBC patch goes to JDBC list; if it passes muster
there then resend to pgsql-patches for application.

2. JDBC patches go to psql-patches only, and interested JDBC people
subscribe to pgsql-patches so they can kibitz.

3. We give commit privileges to one or two JDBC regulars, who take
responsibility for reviewing and applying JDBC-related patches after
discussion on pgsql-jdbc. (This was the old setup with Peter Mount,
but he seems not to have many spare cycles for Postgres anymore.)

Of these #3 seems like the solution that will emerge in the long term
anyway; but do we have candidate patch-meisters now?

Comments, better ideas, nominations, volunteers?
