well - as said before, we are very open to better ways to do this but
just putting more burden on the people who can grant access by having to
read even more lists is not a very good tradeoff for me. The pgsql-www@
charter is regarding development and organisation of the postgresql
websites (which the wiki is clearly part of imho),
if granting access to a previously heavily abused website which very
high visibility in the community does not fit under "organisation" I'm
not sure what else does...
