We kind of do - when in a CF we should do reviewing of existing
patches, when outside a CF we should do discussions and work on new
features. It's on http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest. It

on review and discussing things that will happen that far ahead is
definitely not focusing on review.
