I think the JDBC driver is an intimidating project, because it requires
PostgreSQL-specific knowledge, Java skills, and familiarity with the JDBC
specs. Luckily, this driver is a pure Java implementation, which makes it
easier for us Java-centric programmers.

Although we are chronically overextended these days, I would like to pledge
my development support to improving the JDBC driver. However, my experience
is overwhelmingly on the "consumer" side of a JDBC driver, not on the
internal or database side. I would need some direction to be an effective
contributor at this point. To-do lists that focus on known trouble spots or
weaknesses would be very helpful.
