It is too bad the page we used to have like this on MySpace isn't around 
anymore.

Right now there's some rumbling at multiple companies around things like 
how to sponsor new features for PostgreSQL.  Tying that into a larger 
page covering the various ways people can contribute is an interesting 
idea.  I think we've only recently crossed the point where there's 
enough details on pages like "Reviewing a Patch" that it's clear to 
people what they should do on the technical side.  That pretty well 
completely work could use something that's more like marketing now though.
