It isn't difficult, it is unexpected. You don't manage content via
webmaster@, that is stupid. We are not talking about one off edits for a
spelling mistake here. Now I would concur that -www would make
reasonable sense, but my point, was that we might have a perception
problem. I was trying to be helpful and I repeat:

Where is the, "How to contribute to the PostgreSQL.Org website HOWTO?".

If it doesn't exist, does it by chance make sense to have one? If not,
why not? It isn't like this is the first time people have brought up the
point that it isn't as easy as it could be to contribute to the website.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
