I have several minor comments for the v65-0001 patch:

doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_subscription.sgml

(1)
Suggest minor doc change:

BEFORE:
+          Previously-subscribed tables are not copied, even if the table's row
+          filter <literal>WHERE</literal> clause had been modified.
AFTER:
+          Previously-subscribed tables are not copied, even if a table's row
+          filter <literal>WHERE</literal> clause had been modified.


src/backend/catalog/pg_publication.c

(2) GetTopMostAncestorInPublication
Is there a reason why there is no "break" after finding a
topmost_relid? Why keep searching and potentially overwrite a
previously-found topmost_relid? If it's intentional, I think that a
comment should be added to explain it.


src/backend/commands/publicationcmds.c

(3) Grammar

BEFORE:
+ * Returns true, if any of the columns used in row filter WHERE clause is not
AFTER:
+ * Returns true, if any of the columns used in the row filter WHERE
clause are not


(4) contain_invalid_rfcolumn_walker
Wouldn't this be better named "contains_invalid_rfcolumn_walker"?
(and references to the functions be updated accordingly)


src/backend/executor/execReplication.c

(5) Comment is difficult to read
Add commas to make the comment easier to read:

BEFORE:
+ * It is only safe to execute UPDATE/DELETE when all columns referenced in
+ * the row filters from publications which the relation is in are valid -
AFTER:
+ * It is only safe to execute UPDATE/DELETE when all columns, referenced in
+ * the row filters from publications which the relation is in, are valid -
