I don't think this is really limited to Postgres. Any relatively big OS project the core committers they tend to do what they do. I submitted a patch to a pretty big OS project and pinged the person assigned to the area. That person pretty much wrote his own version of my patch. I guess it got fixed so that was good. I guess the good thing about open source is if you want you can just build your own version with whatever you want. However smaller projects are more receptive since they want all the attention and help they can get.
- anarazel 8y agoI think the "big project" angle is that maintainability is of higher priority than for smaller project. So more minor things need to to be addressed than in smaller projects. And that then either leads to being very nitpicky in reviews (which costs both sides cycles), or polishing patches pretty liberally (which costs the submitter experience, but reduces the time required for both sides).
