One thing that we can never have enough of is reviewers, that is people who examine
patches in the commitfest and give feedback on them.
Look here for details: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch

Code review is definitely part of software development practice, and
reading and understanding the code of experienced developers can teach
you a lot. Another nice aspect is that this is an activity that can easily
be adjusted to span three months; if you embark on a new feature, the
three months may pass without your patch getting accepted.
