PostgreSQL 11 Release Management Team & Feature Freeze

Hi,

The Release Management Team (RMT) for the PostgreSQL 11 release
has been assembled and has determined that the feature freeze date
for the PostgreSQL 11 release will be April 7, 2018. This means that any
feature that will be going into the PostgreSQL 11 release must be
committed before 2018-04-08 00:00:00 GMT.

The exception to this is any patches related to bootstrap data [1] which is
purposefully being committed later on. After the freeze is in effect, any
open feature in the current Commitfest will be moved into the subsequent
one.

Open items for the PostgreSQL 11 release will be tracked here:

For the PostgreSQL 11 release, the release management team is composed
of:

Alvaro Herrera <alvherre(at)alvh(dot)no-ip(dot)org <mailto:alvherre(at)alvh(dot)no-ip(dot)org>>
Andres Freund <andres(at)anarazel(dot)de <mailto:andres(at)anarazel(dot)de>>
Jonathan Katz <jkatz(at)postgresql(dot)org <mailto:jkatz(at)postgresql(dot)org>>

For the time being, if you have any questions about the process, please
feel free to email any member of the RMT. We will send out notes with
updates and additional guidance in the near future.

Thanks!
