No problem. Here is the patch for the HEAD. This patch introduces a new memory
context within PGOutputData, specifically for allocating memory for
publication_names. The new memory context is nested under the logical decoding
context, ensuring it is freed at the end of decoding through
FreeDecodingContext.

I realized that this patch cannot be backpatched because it introduces a new
field into the public PGOutputData structure. Therefore, I think we may need to
use Alvaro's version [1] for the back branches.
