Hi,

- Adding stable links with mnemonic names for the open, in progress,
and most recently closed commitfests.

May I suggest something looking about like:
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/current
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/open
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/in-progress
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/previous

With respect to the issue of the page URLs, I'm very unconvinced of
the value of making a change.

Your software seems to be better than a wiki, but its potential users are expressing needs and bikescheding. I think you'd better accept both kind of changes as long as it's not making your life much harder than you'd want. Frankly, what URL looks better:
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/commitfest_view?id=2
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/2009/07

Oh, and while at it, I don't foresee that we would want the commitfest of july 2009 to change its name but not the "semantic" URL pointing to its management. Or if it's ever wanted, as has been said, have a look at Apache Rewrite Rules system, it's made for supporting content being moved. Something in the spirit of:
  RedirectPermanent /2009/07 /2009/08

While at it, I imagine that within a given commit fest, a single patch will have a stable shortname, or if it comes to change, we could accept that the URL too change:
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=71
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/2009/07/Synch_Rep
  http://commitfest.postgresql.org/current/Synch_Rep

Now, rather than following the names with apache setup, maybe you could add something like some history tables tracking short name changes (maybe some ON UPDATE trigger would do), so that referring to an older name would send a HTTP 302 redirect to the new name URL?

I'd like your work to be useful for all of us and appreciated to its real value, and those changes well seem like user interface improvements rather than basic structure or behavior questioning.

Regards,
