We could do most of what people want using a tracker, but that 
discussion always seems to end up nowhere. And, as I have noted before, 
use of a tracker will become a total mess unless there are adequate 
resources to keep it clean and up to date (e.g. to put links in items to 
mailing list discussions, update state etc.) So if the commercial 
backers of PostgreSQL want better management of the project, maybe they 
need to find some resources to help out.
