1. PostgreSQL 16 Release Management Team & Feature Freeze

   Jonathan S. Katz <jkatz@postgresql.org> — 2023-03-21T15:35:16Z

   Hi,
   
   We are pleased to announce the Release Management Team (RMT) (cc'd) for
   the PostgreSQL 16 release:
   
       - Alvaro Herrera
       - Amit Kapila
       - Jonathan Katz
   
   You can find information about the responsibilities of the RMT here:
   
       https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Release_Management_Team
   
   Additionally, the RMT has set the feature freeze to be **April 8, 2023 
   at 0:00 AoE**[1]. This is the last time to commit features for 
   PostgreSQL 16. In  other words, no new PostgreSQL 16 feature can be 
   committed after April 8, 2023 at 0:00 AoE.
   
   You can track open items for the PostgreSQL 16 release here:
   
       https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_16_Open_Items
   
   Finally, the Release Team is considering making April 8 0:00 AoE the 
   standard feature freeze date/time for future years. This has been the 
   cutoff over the past several years, and standardizing will give 
   predictability to when the feature development cycle ends. If you have 
   reasons why this should not be the case, please voice your concerns.
   
   Please let us know if you have any questions.
   
   On behalf of the PG16 RMT,
   
   Jonathan

   This is a reminder that feature freeze is rapidly approach. The freeze 
   begins at April 8, 2023 at 0:00 AoE. No new PostgreSQL 16 features can 
   be committed after this time.
   
   Thanks,
