Actually, to be fair, Peter Eisentraut set it up back in 2009 and
continues to keep it updated. I thought I had seen it announced, but
now that I look, it seems he only mailed sysadmins(at)postgresql(dot)org and
never any public list. From the comments there, it's pretty obvious
that the list is helpful; the number of things marked "done" in recent
times is not small.

I'm not saying that *anything* listed there is useful. (In particular I
don't think the "relcreated" column provides a lot of value.)
