Ah, you are right, I was thinking it was a third-party extension.

If we're talking about changing the behavior of a contrib module,
I think -hackers would be the appropriate location for that.
And it does seem like this deserves a fresh look.  As it stands,
a superuser can prewarm an index (because she bypasses all
privilege checks including this one), but nobody else can.
Seems weird.
