Just to clarify, I intend to help out project since this is a PostgreSQL based project and I have experience in PostgreSQL. Since I am not an IPMC member, I cannot be a mentor, hence just offered to help. I do not intend to code in the project due to time limitations, but would love to help out in the necessary areas if I can.
