I am thinking about starting with the following TODO item:

--> Have EXPLAIN ANALYZE issue NOTICE messages when the estimated and actual row counts differ by a specified percentage.

I picked this because it is somewhat related to query processing which is what I am most interested in. It also <seems> like a good start up project for a newbie like me. Before I start looking into what this would involve and start a conversation on designing a solution - I wanted to know what you guys think about this particular TODO, and it suitability to a newbie. Looking forward to your comments...

Thanks
Ashish
