Based on my observations, there's basically three different workflows a patch can follow (assuming the patch gets committed in the end)

This list was so good that I used it as the basis for a new page on the wiki: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch

I just did a big cleanup of the whole developer's area there. Rather than the nested mess there before, there's now a fairly complete entry page:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information

That should have the majority of what most people are looking for. The previous "project management" page was collapsed into the above. There's still a "Development projects" subpage there, but that's fairly specific to people who know what they're looking for I think. The "March Commitfest" section might be slimmed down a bit after the May one is better defined.

One small change I'd suggest on the main site: http://www.postgresql.org/developer/coding links to http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_and_Contributor_Resources which is now a redirect to the above page. I separated out the advocacy contributors to their own section which made the longer title unneeded. It would be nice one day to change that to use the shorter Development_information URL instead. It would also be worth considering a direct link to that URL in the manual, I believe it will remain stable now.
