Well this gets in to a pet peeve of my with regard to OSS and the
definition of 'community', it seems to adjust in size of coverage
depending on the argument.
For a recent thread on -www that gets into this, as concerns
contributors, see:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/aJ9ur1eSnk5pp9aD%40msg.df7cb.de
To get to said contributors list you go:
https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/
where you see folks recognized for their work outside the core code.
Examples of the expanded 'commmunity':
1) From the 'community' site you can go to:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/
where that packaging is done outside of core.
2) Again from postgresql.org:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/external-extensions.html
"PostgreSQL is designed to be easily extensible. For this reason,
extensions loaded into the database can function just like features that
are built in. The contrib/ directory shipped with the source code
contains several extensions, which are described in Appendix F. Other
extensions are developed independently, like PostGIS. Even PostgreSQL
replication solutions can be developed externally. For example, Slony-I
is a popular primary/standby replication solution that is developed
independently from the core project."
3) Of course there is:
https://www.postgresql.org/community/
"PostgreSQL is well-supported by its active community."
To me that means extensions provided by members of the 'community' are
'community-provided'?
