I'm new here, so please advise me: if a patch wasn't accepted at the
commitfest, does that mean it's not needed (no one was interested in

It's kind of hard to tell really --- there are many patches in our
queue and not nearly enough reviewers. So maybe someone will get to
it in the fullness of time, or maybe it's true that no one cares
about the particular topic. (But bug fixes and performance
improvements are almost always interesting to someone.)
I recommend optimism: as long as *you* still believe that the patch
is worthwhile, keep pushing it forward to the next commitfest.
We used to do that automatically, but we have started asking authors
to do that themselves, as a way of weeding out patches for which
the author has lost interest.
Thanks, Tom! I always choose optimism.
I've been in open source for a while, and this is the first time I've
seen this approach.
I have a plan to further improve Postgres performance in terms of
Unicode (and not only) (which is kind of the foundation for working with
text).
I don't want to overwhelm the community with patches. I take a
systematic approach.
Once again, thank you, Tom. The community's approach has become clearer.
