There's a fairly standard way of getting people to do things for you:
pay them money. Thing is, people can run around making lists of thing
that would be cool, but no-one can really force anyone to do anything.
Now, there are the priveledged few who are being paid to work on
postgres. If you can convince their employers to fund things on the
list, it might help. Also, some stuff might work well as Google SoC
projects...
Have a nice day,
