I think so.

Right. That kind of mailing lists should be managed by native
speakers.

Actually "Japan PostgreSQL usrs' Group" (established in 1997) obtained
a subdmain jp.postgresql.org (Thanks Marc for handling that!)  The
local users' group has a mailing list but it's currently for group
members only to discuss on non-techinial issues such as attending
local conferences, having private seminars etc.

Right now a mailing list for discussion on technical issues exists in
Japan (managed by me), but served by a contribution from a commercial
company in Japan. There is a plan moving the list to
jp.postgresql.org. Or should we move the list to postgresq.org?
It has over 4000 subscribers, but the traffic is low (+5 per day).
