Hi all,=20

I seem unable to log out of postgresql.org. I have tried in multiple bro=
wsers and have received the same error each time.

To reproduce:
 =E2=80=A2 Log in to https://www.postgresql.org
 =E2=80=A2 Navigate to the account page https://www.postgresql.org/accou=
nt/
 =E2=80=A2 Click `Logout` on the lefthand nav bar
   =E2=80=A2 The browser network tab shows a `GET` request to https://ww=
w.postgresql.org/account/logout/, which returns a 405.=20
The expected result is, of course, to be logged out, yet after the 405 I=
 find I am still logged in. I can manually clear cookies to force a logo=
ut.=20

I do see this in the response header, which leads me to believe the logo=
ut call should be a POST, not a GET:
> allow: POST, OPTIONS

Jack
