Re: Configure with thread sanitizer fails the thread test

Not sure what you mean. I am the author and I authorize anyone to do
whatever they want with it.

absurdly convoluted dance of a github PR?

Well, for me submitting a github PR is a well-established and easy-to-do
procedure which is the same for all libraries. Posting to a new mailing
list definitely is not. I've spent around 15 minutes trying to do a proper
reply to the thread and did not succeed.

Another reason to post a PR is that we consume libpq via conan, and
releasing a new revision of the conan recipe for the same library version
is a relatively fast and well-defined process. While waiting for a new
version of a library with a patch depends heavily on a particular library.
I am not aware of the release cadence of libpq.

Anyway, I am very glad there is swift feedback from you guys and I am
looking forward to your comments on the proper way to fix the issue!
