Well, my first patch was two-phase commit. And I had never even used PostgreSQL before I dived into the source tree and started to work on that
Well, everyone knows you're awesome. A small percentage of the people who write patches end up having the combination of background skills, mindset, and approach to pull something like that off. But there are at least a dozens submissions that start review with "I don't think there will ever work, but I can't even read your malformed patch to be sure" for every one that went like 2PC. If every submitter was a budding Heikki we wouldn't need patch submission guidelines at all.
