I have scanned through all the patches in Commitfest 2023-01 with status
"Needs review", and it is difficult to find something which I can
meaningfully review.

The only thing I felt qualified to comment (or nit-pick?) on was
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/41/4071/

If something else should turn up which could be reviewed by someone
without intimate knowledge of PostgreSQL internals, then don't hesitate
to ask.

As for the Daitch-Mokotoff patch, the review by Andres Freund was very
helpful in order to improve the extension and to make it more idiomatic
- hopefully it is now a bit closer to being included.


Best regards
