Hi *,

I have submitted a patch which does exactly this. Somebody edited it
and Bruce put it on
the queue for 8.1.

Now we both did the same work twice. This is a good example how a
public accessible
Bugtracker and TODO-List where one can claim things (or get assigned to
some workitem)
can save valuable time.

Image someone likes to get in touch with the codebase by fixing some
bugs first. To my
understanding, there is no Bug Database for Postgres (correct me, if I
am wrong).
Where can this volunteer lookup Bugs? I don't want to restart the
Bugzilla Discussion,
since I personally don't have any preference which Trouble-Ticket
System to use.
But I think the idea of having one is worth considering.

cheers,

Matthias
