1. [PATCH] Make spelling consistent in waiteventset.c

   Postgres Cybrosys <postgres@cybrosys.com> — 2026-05-06T09:47:52Z

   Hi,
   
   The four backend-specific paths in WaitEventSetWaitBlock()
   (epoll, kqueue, poll, and Windows) had identical-purpose comments
   with inconsistent spellings.
   
   Two comments used "writable" while the other two used "writeable".
   
   This patch standardizes the spelling to "writable" to match the
   surrounding text in the file.
   
   The WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE macro is a public identifier and is left
   unchanged.
   
   Patch attached.

   I went to apply this patch and then got stuck when filling out the
   Author field, since the email name doesn't look like a person's name,
   and I am uncomfortable committing something without a person's name and
   I don't remember ever doing this.  To be more concrete, without a name
   there is no way to reference the original author in the future --- a
   company name doesn't allow that.
   
   I am willing to apply this patch with no author if that is what people
   prefer, or we can just leave the C comment typo unfixed.
