I've always thought that a "patch applied" followup mail was a waste of
time and readers' attention. Anybody who cares about that will know it
was applied because they're watching pgsql-committers or the git feed.

I do think it's sometimes polite to follow up that way to a bug
submitter, or if the discussion was in some other non-hackers list,
because then the audience might not be following commits. But I don't
think it's particularly useful in pgsql-hackers threads.
