It happened again, this time with the index prefetching patch that Tomas and I are working on. I checked the CF app entry, but didn't notice that the entry wasn't in the current CF. It was in 2025-11-01 – 2025-11-30, but technically when I posted the patch that was already over (not in my time zone, in UTC). Technically I hadn't submitted the patch to the next open commit fest yet, and yet there is no real indication that that's a problem on the CF page. I thought it was a bug in the CF app, and then complained about it on Discord. Then Jelte wasted a couple of hours of his own time on this, before he finally noticed that the patch just wasn't in a CF anymore. Of course, there was no email about this, no notification -- nothing. At a minimum, there needs to be better tooling for this -- it's just too easy for something to fall through the cracks. But what I really think we should do is simply end with this misguided policy. I personally had no say in it. I didn't go to the FOSDEM developer meeting. The first I heard about all this on this thread. -- Peter Geoghegan
