Another idea is to run a patch triage around mid March 15th, with the intention of punting patches to the next cycle early enough. But rather than considering each patch in its own merits, consider the responsible _committers_ and the load that they are reasonably expected to handle: determine which patches each committer deems his or her responsibility for the rest of that March commitfest, and punt all the rest. That way we have a reasonably vetted amount of effort that each committer is allowed to spend for the remainder of that commitfest. Excesses should be obvious enough and discouraged. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
