The points I'd like to see emphasized "out there" are that Postgres
developers have taken many steps to ensure the long-term health of the
project - intentionally diversifying where key developers work, and
accepting patches from a large number of independent contributors.
Structural things - like clearly documented coding standards, a
rigorous (if sometimes tedious) review process and Tom Lane's constant
presence - makes the code produced by the project incredibly high
quality.
Further recent actions - extensive work on creating and then executing
the Commit Fests, and increasing the number of core committers - help
make sure our software will continue to be competitive, and actively
developed for many years.
If you are going to blog about this situation -- and I hope many of
you do -- please talk about what is good about our community and
development process, and how you've contributed to that.
