Given the PostgreSQL 17.1 kerfuffle and the addition of API and API =
guidance to the docs (discussion thread[1]), I=E2=80=99ve started a =
Google Summer of Code proposal[2] to take the example Peter G posted =

notifications for each push to a back branch. I put myself down as a =
mentor, but perhaps one of you who has thought about this problem and =
experimented with solutions might be a better choice, or at least =
co-mentor. If so, please add your name to the proposal. Oh, and of =
course, please make any corrections you deem fit.

Best,

David
