* ExecInitPartitionResultRelInfo is called from ExecFindPartition, but
we could call that another way; in ExecInsert/CopyFrom we call that
after ExecFindPartition if the partition chosen by ExecFindPartition has
not been initialized yet. Maybe either would be OK, but I like that
because I think that would not only better divide that labor but better
fit into the existing code in ExecInsert/CopyFrom IMO.

* In ExecInitPartitionResultRelInfo:
+ /*
+ * Note that the entries in this list appear in no predetermined
+ * order as result of initializing partition result rels as and when
+ * they're needed.
+ */
+ estate->es_leaf_result_relations =
+
lappend(estate->es_leaf_result_relations,
+ leaf_part_rri);

Is it OK to put this within the "if (leaf_part_rri == NULL)" block?

* In the same function:
+ /*
+ * Verify result relation is a valid target for INSERT.
+ */
+ CheckValidResultRel(leaf_part_rri, CMD_INSERT);

I think it would be better to leave the previous comments as-is here:

/*
* Verify result relation is a valid target for an INSERT. An
UPDATE
* of a partition-key becomes a DELETE+INSERT operation, so
this check
* is still required when the operation is CMD_UPDATE.
*/

* ExecInitPartitionResultRelInfo does the work other than the
initialization of ResultRelInfo for the chosen partition (eg, create a
tuple conversion map to convert a tuple routed to the partition from the
parent's type to the partition's). So I'd propose to rename that
function to eg, ExecInitPartition.

* CopyFrom is modified so that it calls ExecSetupPartitionTupleRouting
and ExecFindPartition with a mostly-dummy ModifyTableState node. I'm
not sure that is a good idea. My concern about that is that might be
something like a headache in future development.

* The patch 0001 and 0002 are pretty small but can't be reviewed without
the patch 0003. The total size of the three patches aren't that large,
so I think it would be better to put those patches together into a
single patch.

That's all for now. I'll continue to review the patches!
