The organization of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is not like =
the organization of a commercial software organization.  It is up to the =
general developer community to propose, advocate, and see through any =
changes (including ports).  The "leadership" reviews and approves =
contributions to the primary core PostgreSQL code, but it is up to the =
person or organization that wants a feature to do the work to make it =
actually happen.

So, basically, if you want a maintained VMS port, you need to either =
drive the project yourself, or find others who will.
