I'm very glad this patch isn't forgotten.  I've assigned to review this
patch.
My first note on this patchset is following.  These patches touches
sensitive aspects or GiST and are related to complex concurrency issues.
Thus, I'm sure both of them deserve high-level description in
src/backend/access/gist/README.  Given this description, it would be much
easier to review the patches.
