Yes we have implemented triggers but not SPI yet. We have been working 
quite a bit on plPHP lately.
Which by the way is almost done and supports 
SPI/Triggers/SETOf/Composite types :). As far as
contributing back... please feel free to take the code it is on our 
website (http://www.commandprompt.com)
under community.

Our next project was to start on plPerl. We have already solicited 
feedback from Andrew Dunstan and
he has offers us some ideas, as well as offered some ideas on features 
(and even a patch I think) back to
hackers.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
