Sounds like what http://www.postgresql.org is either doing, or should be
extended to do ...

Same as 1, but maybe a bit more forcefully by ppl like Tom ... god, Josh
Berkus even spent the time going through all the various 'bug tracking
tools' out there to find something that would satisfy the requirement by
ppl like Tom to *not* have a web interface, while providing one, and none
of them (and, if I recall correctly, *especially* not pgFoundry) came
close ... and Josh put alot of work/effort into the research, if I recall
correctly, including looking at some potential "commercial" offerings that
were willing to work with us ...

Again, this was heavily discussed at least a couple of times ...

Isn't that what http://www.postgresql.org is for?

Sounds like what http://www.postgresql.org is either doing, or should be
extended to do ...
