As much as I can see from this thread, the original complain is a lack
of visibility of external projects in the in-core docs. So why not
updating the in-core docs to a wiki page in wiki.postgresql.org where
those external projects are listed? Listing them by category is then
up to the wiki, and not the in-core docs.
