I notice that some of the items in this commitfest are in your queue.
Some things are duplicated; for example parallel restore appear more
than once (I count six times). Column privileges is also several
times.

Also some patches have already been applied; for example:

Item 14, "[HACKERS] Another refactoring proposal: move stuff into
nodes/nodeFuncs.[ch]" was applied.

Item 57, "Re: [HACKERS] autovacuum and TOAST tables" was applied.

Item 78, bug 4495 is not a memory leak

Item 79, bug 4496 is not a leak either

Item 86 was rejected

Item 103 (plpython) is a commitfest item that was returned to author

I'm not sure why is item 106 (heap_formtuple) listed?

Item 118 (pgdump roles, Ibrar Ahmed) is applied

Item 130 (PD_PAGE_FULL) is bogus; drop it

I'm not sure why you have planetpostgresql.org items?

Item 155 (toast by chunk end) can be dropped from this list; it's an unneeded patch.

Item 162 is an open item??? "cool hacks with recursive queries"

Item 166, "designated initializers" can be dropped (part of reloptions
patch that's already committed)

Item 184 "working in the US" is a pgsql-core email, not even in the
archives ...

Item 197, "links to cvsweb from archive" can be dropped; problem was
fixed. [checks] Uh, actually it is broken again. I guess Marc upgraded
the web server.

Item 242, "generic reloptions improvement", is applied

Item 272, "protein database", is here because ...?

Item 286 (32/64 bits) was already fixed by yourself?
