hi.

git apply --check $PATCHES/v15-0001-Introduce-json-format-for-COPY-TO.patch
error: patch failed: src/backend/commands/copyfrom.c:155
error: src/backend/commands/copyfrom.c: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: src/backend/commands/copyto.c:176
error: src/backend/commands/copyto.c: patch does not apply

seems to need rebase.
the attachment is the rebase, minor comments tweaks, and commit message tweaks.

another issue is this patch entry in commitfest [1] status is: Not processed,
which means no cfbots CI tests, seems not great.
not sure how to resolve this issue....
