There's also https://pgxn.org, the PostgreSQL Extension Network.
It's interface, a list of tags with font sizes that correspond to
frequency of occurrence, gives me an idea.

Give up.  Add the sentence "PostgreSQL supports many popular buzzwords,
which make it more than a relational database."
and link "buzzwords" to a page of buzzwords.  Since "buzzword"
is so generic, "Geospatial" can appear next to "ACID" next to "SQL"
without concern.  Each buzzword could link to a google search of
"PostgreSQL" + "<buzzword>".  To get fancy, let the user choose the
search engine.  Or really give up and link to a buzzword page on
the pg wiki.
