Thanks!

Also, I've some notes about removing reviewers.
"Improve GiST index build times (Alexander Korotkov)"
I think Heikki Linnakangas should be also listed as author of that patch
because he didn't only review and commit, but actually put his hands on
code.

Isn't my authorship of this patch lost now?

I think earlier this patch was taken into account in entry "Add support for
range data types". Probably, we need separate entry for this patch?
