Actually I should add that I went ahead and created the PHP todo list on 
my own, without any official blessing and one by one internals developer 
have joined. Now its actively used in the entire release process.

This is probably the best approach to go about doing this for PostgreSQL 
as well. That way there is no additional work, and instead it can show 
if it actually helps people. And if it does more people will start to 
contribute to it. If not then someone who did not contribute to the code 
anyways wasted a bit of time to get to know the PostgreSQL todo items 
really well. ;)
