Usually to users and developers using Postgres, but in some cases it was unclear even to experienced Postgres contributors.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/developer/committers/">official docs</a> are rather brief, and don’t explain various important details. Let me explain how I understand the informal process, who’s responsible for what etc.</p> <p>This post is not meant to give you advice on how to become a committer, that’s a far more subjective question. Perhaps in some future post, not sure yet.</p>
