I'm pretty sure those fields are copied directly from the upstream
blogs. We don't try to make our own.

I guess one option would be to just overwrite all guids and generate
our own - we could easily do that. The question is if that would
remove some valuable information - such as people using them for
de-dup or something. Does anybody have a clue and/or opinion on how
that would work?

planet(at)postgresql(dot)org should've been the correct address. Your email
must've been lost in a sea of others. Apologies for that.

The twitter account is entirely automated with no person reading it at
any point, so don't expect any responses there.
