I have moved it to the current commitfest, with a comment linking to the 'please revive this patch' thread whereby a second glance at what to do about this was conducted. The link follows: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=541 > If you want it to be seriously considered, you should post the patch > to this list, which makes it part of the permanent archives and > indicates your willingness to place the code under the PostgreSQL > license. Although technical mailing lists are not primarily a place of reflection and sensitivity, I do think that wording addressed to a new participant could have been kinder. Perhaps, "Unfortunately we cannot accept or even read your patch because of licensing concerns, would you please follow the following patch submission guidelines?" <link>. -- fdr -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
