Fair enough. The current commitfest page is at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest:May

I agree that it's not well linked from the front page of the wiki (you
have to follow "Development information" -> "Project management
documentation" -> "Patches for May Commitfest").

I've added a redirect at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest
which currently points to May, but should be updated whenever we close
a commitfest against new submissions. That way submitters will always
have one URL to visit to add their stuff.

I agree, and in fact I've just recently added some documentation about
how to add your patch to the wiki up the top of the CommitFest:May
page; I invite you to take a look and post back if you have any
comments.

Cheers,
