FWIW the feature freeze rules state that it is allowed for a committer
to request an extension to the feature freeze date for individual
patches:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA%2BTgmoY56w5FOzeEo%2Bi48qehL%2BBsVTwy-Q1M0xjUhUCwgGW7-Q%40mail.gmail.com
It seems to me that the restrictions laid out there are well met for
this patch, if you only need a couple of additional days for this patch
to get in.
