I went to apply this patch and then got stuck when filling out the Author field, since the email name doesn't look like a person's name, and I am uncomfortable committing something without a person's name and I don't remember ever doing this. To be more concrete, without a name there is no way to reference the original author in the future --- a company name doesn't allow that. I am willing to apply this patch with no author if that is what people prefer, or we can just leave the C comment typo unfixed. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Do not let urgent matters crowd out time for investment in the future.
