Hi,

Patch v15-0001-ALTER-TABLE-MERGE-PARTITIONS-command.patch
Apply nicely.
One warning on meson compile (configure -Dssl=openssl -Dldap=enabled -Dauto_features=enabled -DPG_TEST_EXTRA='ssl,ldap,kerberos' -Dbsd_auth=disabled -Dbonjour=disabled -Dpam=disabled -Dpltcl=disabled -Dsystemd=disabled -Dzstd=disabled  -Db_coverage=true)

../../src/pgmergesplit/src/test/modules/test_ddl_deparse/test_ddl_deparse.c: In function ‘get_altertable_subcmdinfo’:
../../src/pgmergesplit/src/test/modules/test_ddl_deparse/test_ddl_deparse.c:112:17: warning: enumeration value ‘AT_MergePartitions’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
  112 |                 switch (subcmd->subtype)
      |                 ^~~~~~
Should be the same with 0002...

meson test perfect, patch coverage is very good.

Patch v15-0002-ALTER-TABLE-SPLIT-PARTITION-command.patch
Doesn't apply on 326a33a289c7ba2dbf45f17e610b7be98dc11f67

Patch v15-0003-Documentation-for-ALTER-TABLE-SPLIT-PARTITION-ME.patch
Apply with one warning  1 line add space error (translate from french "warning: 1 ligne a ajouté des erreurs d'espace").
v15-0003-Documentation-for-ALTER-TABLE-SPLIT-PARTITION-ME.patch:54: trailing whitespace.
      One of the new partitions <replaceable class="parameter">partition_name1</replaceable>, 
Comment are ok for me. A non native english speaker.
Perhaps you could add some remarks in ddl.html and alter-ddl.html
