I suppose we could have a moratorium on commits starting from (say) EOB Wednesday of the week prior to the release; patches can only be committed after that if they have ample support (where "ample support" might be defined as having +1 from, say, two other committers). That way there's time to discuss/revert/fix anything that is deemed controversial. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
