I don't agree, you should also look at the recent post and fork by one
of wikipedia's co-founders. The developers wiki should only be edited by

Now, getting authorized should be easy as reasonably possible, but
having a wholesale editing orgy on the wiki responsible for tracking
postgresql developer information is not a good idea.
