I think this is (in part at least) a reflection of the economy finally picking up. Last year this time I had one major project going on -- right now I'm juggling about a half dozen or so, any one of which could keep me busy full time. Add a couple of OSCON presentations to prepare, and several serial disasters/distractions at home (nothing life threatening, but all time consuming), and that leaves little-to-no time for recreational Postgres coding :(
The committing isn't really the issue. It is reviewing and giving feedback to developers of complex features.
This is very true. But the fact that I have been able to commit what little I have done this release has at least off-loaded some work from you Bruce, hasn't it? I'm still green enough though that I'm not in a position to review anything too complex -- someone like Tom or Bruce would still need to follow up behind me, so it wouldn't really save them any time.
