Hello everyone!

March Commitfest is closed.
~40 CF entries were committed since April 1st. Despite some drawbacks discussed 
in nearby threads, its still huge amount of work and significant progress for 
the project. Thanks to everyone involved!

The number is approximate, because in some cases I could not clearly determine 
status. I pinged authors to do so.

26 entries are RWF\Rejected\Withdrawn. Michael noted that I moved to next CF 
some entries that wait for the author more then couple of weeks. I'm going to 
revise WoA items in 2024-07 and RwF some of them to reduce CF bloat. If authors 
are still interested in continuing work of returned items, they are free to 
provide an answer and to change status back to Needs Review.

I've removed all "target version = 17" attribute and switched statuses of a lot 
of entries. I'm afraid there might be some errors. If I determined status of 
your patch erroneously, please accept my apologise and correct the error.

Thanks!


Best regards, Andrey Borodin.

Thanks for extending the period.

Could someone review my patches for this commitfest?

The patch is currently in the "Ready for Committer" state. It's up to the 
committer to decide which one to pick. There are 22 proposed patches and many 
committers are dealing with the consequences of what has already been committed 
(build farm failures, open issues, post-commit notifications, etc.).
If I was a committer, I wouldn't commit a new join kind at the door of feature 
freeze. If I was the author of this patch, I'd consider attracting more 
reviewers and testers to increase chances of the patch in July CF.
Thanks for your work!

As of April 1 there are 97 committed patches. Incredible amount of work! Thanks 
to all committers, patch authors and reviewers.
Still there are 205 open patches, 19 of them are there for 10+ CFs. I 
considered reducing this number by rejecting couple of my patches. But that 
author-part of my brain resisted in an offlist conversation.

I think it makes sense to close this commitfest only after Feature Freeze on 
April 8, 2024 at 0:00 AoE.
What do you think?

But given importance of last commitfest before feature freeze, we might be

and 202307 to Open.  There are a total of 331 patches registered with 286 of
those in an open state, 24 of those have been around for 10 CF's or more.

Commitfest Manager for March

2024-02-29 Thread Daniel Gustafsson
We are now hours away from starting the last commitfest for v17 and AFAICS
there have been no volunteers for the position of Commitfest manager (cfm) yet.
As per usual it's likely beneficial if the CFM of the last CF before freeze is
someone with an seasoned eye to what can make it and what can't, but the
important part is that we get someone with the time and energy to invest.

Anyone interested?

That would be really helpful.  Thanks for helping!  Do you have the

The last CF is the most sensitive one as the feature freeze would
happen just around the beginning of April, so the CFM has a bit more
pressure in taking the correct decisions, if need be.

FYI, I'd prefer spend cycles at patches that could make the cut,
rather than doing the classification of the whole.

What I'm seeing is patches that are failing with either the
027_stream_regress.pl failure that I see is being actively worked on
in another thread or simply a timeout which I'm not sure but may be
the same issue?

But I'll do a pass and then do another pass later in the week when
those problems may have been ironed out.

One thing that desperately needs doing, particularly during the last
commitfest, is looking through CF entries and pruning stuff that shouldn't be
there anymore or that are in the wrong state.

I just went through the list of patches that are failing on
http://cfbot.cputube.org/index.html

There were several CF entries that haven't made progress in months marked as
"needs review", despite the last things on the thread being asks of the 
author(s).

One can't just automatically mark all failing runs as "waiting on author"
because sometimes there are issues with somebody else posting an incremental
diff confusing cfbot or spurious test failures...

If a patch fails to apply and it looks to be a "real patch" clearly some
action has to be taken by the author, so marking entries as "waiting on
author" is good.

Greetings,

Andres Freund

It can mean whatever we decide it's convenient for it to mean.  I suppose its
primary purpose may have been to indicate which backbranch a bugfix applies to
(?)

I find it useful to indicate whether or not a patch is intended to be
considered for the next release.  If a patch is targetting v15, it's more
interesting to review.

@Thomas Munro: I think it'd be useful if cfbot would also show 1) the "target
version" (if any); and, 2) whether a patch has a committer set.

Yes, I don't see any point in having a new tag just to mark patches
that will have to be moved to the next CF anyway.  These should just
be moved to the July one rather than stay in the March one.

I don't really understand what that field is supposed to mean.  But now that
we're in the final pg15 commit fest, wouldn't it be simpler to actually move
the patches for which there's a agreement that they can't make it to pg15?
Tagging them and letting them rot for a month isn't helpful for the authors or
the CFMs, especially when there are already 250 patches that needs to be
handled.

There's already an on-going a discussion for the PGTT patchset, maybe it should
also happen for some of the thread you mentioned.

Can I suggest to update the CF APP to allow:

I also suggest to update patches to indicate which are (not) being considered
for v15.

A few specific ones from myself:

include it in v15.

If I'm not wrong, this is merged and should be closed?

For my own patches, it'd be helpful if someone would suggest if any are (not)
likely to be progressed for v15.

I do have the time available. What I don't necessarily have is insight
into everything that needs to be done, especially behind the scenes.
So if I could have someone to give me tips about things I'm missing or
review the things I am doing to see that I've covered everything that
would be great.

Note that the last CF of a major version is probably even more work than

Hi,

The final commitfest for pg15 will start in a few days, and I didn't see any
discussion on it or anyone volunteering to be a CFM.

I thought it would be a good idea to send this reminder now and avoid the same
situation as the last commitfest, to avoid unnecessary pain for the CFM(s).

Is there any volunteer?

For the record there are already 246 active patches registered.

Thanks for volunteering!

That said, our last commitfest tends to be the most difficult as it's
the last opportunity for features to land in time for the next major
release and, for my part at least, I think it'd be best to have

Wow, that was well in advance) I am willing to assist if you need any help.


Indeed it was a bit early. I left for vacation after that. For the record, I am 
newly active to the community. In our PUG, in Stockholm, we held a meetup 
during which a contributor presented ways to contribute to the community, one 
of which is becoming CFM. So, I thought of picking up the recommendation.

I have taken little part in CFs as reviewer/author and I have no idea how a CF 
is actually run. A contributor from Stockholm has been willing to mentor me to 
the part.

Since you have both the knowledge and specific ideas on improving the CF, how 
about me assisting you? I could shadow you and you can groom me to the part, so 
that I can take the lead to a future CF more effectively.

This is just a suggestion of course. I am happy with anything that can help the 
community as a whole.

Even though, I've worked a lot with community, I have never been CFM 
before as well. So, I think we can just follow these articles:


https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/managing-a-postgresql-commitfest/
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest_Checklist

Some parts are a bit outdated, but in general the checklist is clear. 
I've already requested CFM privileges in pgsql-www and I'm going to 
spend next week sending pings and updates to the patches at commitfest.


There are already 219 patches, so I will appreciate if you join me in 
this task.

Yeah, that's a perennial problem.  Part of the issue is just a shortage
of people --- there are always more patches than we can review and
commit in one month.  IMO, another cause is that we have a hard time
saying "no".  If a particular patch isn't too well liked, we tend to
just let it slide to the next CF rather than making the uncomfortable
decision to reject it.  If you've got thoughts about that, or any other
ways to improve the process, for sure speak up.



From a CFM perspective, we can try the following things:

- Write recaps for long-running threads, listing open questions and TODOs.
This one is my personal pain. Some threads do look scary and it is less 
likely that someone will even start a review if they have to catch up 
with a year-long discussion of 10 people.


- Mark patches from first-time contributors with some tag.
Probably, these entries are simple/dummy enough to handle them faster. 
And also it will be a good reminder to be a bit less demanding with 
beginners. See Dmitry's statistic about how many people have sent patch 
only once [1].


- Proactively ask committers, if they are going to work on the upcoming 
CF and will they need any specific help.
Maybe we can also ask about their preferred code areas and check what is 
left uncovered. It's really bad if there is no one, who is working with 
let's say WAL internals during the CF. TBH, I have no idea, what are we 
going to do with this knowledge, but I think it's better to know.


- From time to time call a council of several committers and make tough 
decisions about patches that are in discussion for too long (let's say 4 
commitfests).
Hopefully, it will be easier to reach a consensus in a "real-time" 
discussion, or we can toss a coin. This problem was raised in previous 
discussions too [2].

Nope, nor have we officially appointed a CFM for it yet.  We're seldom
organized enough to do that much in advance of the CF's start.

Yes, absolutely, if you notice something out-of-date there, go ahead
and fix it.  If nothing else, you'll save the eventual CFM some time.

This thread seems like an OK place for the discussion.  As you say,
there are not likely to be any in-person meetings for awhile :-(

I was looking for this message, to find out who is the current CFM. 
Apparently, the November commitfest is not in progress yet.


Still, I have a question. Should we also maintain statuses of the 
patches in the "Open" commitfest? 21 patches were already committed 
during this CF, which shows that even "open" CF is quite active. I've 
updated a few patches, that were sent by my colleagues. If there are no 
objections, I can do that for other entries too.

happen anytime soon. Is there a special place for such discussions, or I

I'm happy to do it.

Would love to chat with recent prior CFMs, if they're willing.
