Hi

Thank you for updating the patch. Several minor comments on v3.

(1) commit message

The new syntax allows specifying schemas. For example:
CREATE PUBLICATION pub1 FOR ALL TABLES EXCEPT TABLE t1,t2;
OR
ALTER PUBLICATION pub1 ADD EXCEPT TABLE t1,t2;

We have above sentence, but it looks better
to make the description a bit more accurate.

Kindly change
From :
"The new syntax allows specifying schemas"
To :
"The new syntax allows specifying excluded relations"

Also, kindly change "OR" to "or",
because this description is not syntax.

(2) publication_add_relation

It would be better to remove the blank line,
because with this change, we'll have two blank
lines in a row.

How about having similar order between
pg_dump.h and pg_dump_sort.c, like
we'll add DO_PUBLICATION_EXCEPT_REL
after DO_PUBLICATION_REL in pg_dump.h ?

There is one unnecessary space in a comment
"...pg_publication_namespace will only have...". Kindly remove it.

Then, how about diving the variable declaration and
the insertion of the return value of GetPublicationRelations ?
That might be aligned with other places in this file.

It seems we forgot to call list_free for "aexceptpubids".
