This *is* for the community, Bruce. There was extensive discussion of my original proposal back in January:

http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-hackers(at)postgresql(dot)org/msg143645.html

I welcome all contributions from the community. I want it to be a success for PostgreSQL. But note that it doesn't have to be started as a -hackers project (any more than pg_upgrade did). CPAN, for example, was created because Jarkko had an itch. He scratched it. I'm doing the same here.

Best,
