Great! I've pull following projects for 2018:

* GiST API advancement
* TOAST'ing in slices
* Table density estimation for approximate queries
* Extract scanning strategy to the separate entity from GiST/GIN/SP-GiST
opclasses

Oleg Bartunov, Teodor Sigaev, Andrey Borodin and I confirmed volunteering
to mentor these projects this year. The only thing to clarify: are you
volunteering to mentor TOAST'ing in slices this year? If no, please
correct the wiki accordingly.
