On behalf of the core team, I'm pleased to announce that the PostgreSQL Project has expanded it's team of "committers", those people who are able to make direct changes to the PostgreSQL source code respository. As the project is extremely conservative about any changes made to the source code to minimise the risk of introducing any bugs, commit access is only given to contributors who have consistently shown they work to a very high standard and have shown commitment to the project. The new committers are: Robert Haas: Robert developed the commitfest.postgresql.org website which is used to manage the process by which features are added to PostgreSQL. He has twice acted as commitfest manager, and submitted numerous patches such as join removal, auto-generation of headers & bki files and the TRUNCATE privilege. Simon Riggs: Simon is well know for working on large enterprise features for PostgreSQL, including Point In Time Recovery and partitioning. Simon is currently working on allowing PITR slave servers to be used for read-only queries. Greg Stark: Greg has worked on low-level features in PostgreSQL, including asynchronous pre-fetching of data and packed variable length data types. Greg was also responsible for the CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY feature. ITAGAKI Takahiro: ITAGAKI-san has worked on countless patches for PostgreSQL, both fixing bugs and writing new features, recently including WHEN clauses for triggers, a buffer usage feature for EXPLAIN and a new implementation of VACUUM FULL.
