> This authorship information is confusing. Yes. Worse, there is no link to what prompted this sudden burst of back-patches of years-old commits. After digging around I guess it was this thread: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CA%2BpA0kLc5VxOaO4WfLjmh7W0V%2BquVvVtT5CaRVRAZMuh0zft4Q%40mail.gmail.com I'm nervous about pushing these in mere hours before a release freeze, primarily because there's no way to be sure whether any necessary follow-up fixes got missed. If we were unwilling to back-patch at the time, is reversing that decision such a good idea? I'm also confused about how to document them in the release notes. Alexandra should get some credit I guess for collecting and testing the patches, but she's not the original author(s). regards, tom lane
