Hi folks,

I'm ready for my first-ever PG code review, and I was considering
tackling this one. I.e., https://commitfest.postgresql.org/10/776/

Could someone help me with a few procedural questions?

(1) This page: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch
lists the current commitfest's manager as "(vacant)". But this page:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/ seems to indicate that a commitfest
is currently in progress. Is there a commitfest manager at the
moment?

(2) It seems like there are still a few big questions about this commit:

- Is it wanted at the moment? It didn't seem like there's a
consensus about whether or not this enhancement should be
merged, even if the patch is pretty minimal.

- It seems like there are two competing patch
sets in play for this enhancement: Joy's and
Peter's. Presumably at most one of them would
be merged.

Are these signs that I should find a different commit to review
for now, so that this one can be further discussed?

Thanks very much,
Christian
