I have started reviewing the patch.
+       if (enable_partitionwise_join && rel->top_parent_is_partitioned)
+       {
+           build_childrel_tlist(root, rel, childrel, 1, &appinfo);
+       }

Why do we need rel->top_parent_is_partitioned? If a relation is
partitioned (if (rel->part_scheme), it's either the top parent or is
partition of some other partitioned table. In either case this
condition will be true.

+   /* No work if the child plan is an Append or MergeAppend */
+   if (IsA(subplan, Append) || IsA(subplan, MergeAppend))
+       return;

Why? Probably it's related to the answer to the first question, But I
don't see the connection. Given that partition-wise join will be
applicable level by level, we need to recurse in
adjust_subplan_tlist().

+   /* The child plan should be able to do projection */
+   Assert(is_projection_capable_plan(subplan));
+
Again why? A MergeAppend's subplan could be a Sort plan, which will
not be projection capable.

This is not a full review. I will continue reviewing it further.
