First, thanks so much for your (and Kris's, and all the other committers') hard work. It is appreciated! The Postgres JDBC driver has been stable and reliable and a core part of a lot of the projects I currently work on.

It sounds like at this point, even if the decision is to stay with the current mainline for the time being, the project needs some "new blood" to ensure it keeps going in the case where you lose the interest or time to donate to the project.

I would happily donate some time to doing code review and implementing improvements.

Maybe you (or everyone as a group?) should draw up some guidelines on what sort of expectations there are of committers. I could see introducing ten new committers to help with code review all at the same time causing a lot of instability both in the driver and the project, unless everyone agrees on what are / aren't the goals of the current JDBC driver. I think "not destabilizing the current driver" is a worthy priority, given how many people depend on it…
