per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html
"You must own the table to use ALTER TABLE."
That means the current user must own the to be SPLITed partition.
the new partitions owner should be current user (the one who did ALTER TABLE)

let say:
alter table whatever_range merge partitions
( whatever_range_c, whatever_range_de )
into whatever_range_cde;
In this case, the current user must own
whatever_range_c and whatever_range_de to perform this operation.
and the current user will be the owner of whatever_range_cde.
