So basically what you want here is for CommitFest:July to become
CommitFest:2008-07? That's pretty reasonable and some ideas in this area
were already tossed around.

There's already a http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest redirect that
is being kept current.

I still think the developer/roadmap page should include a link to a
higher-level view than the CommitFest level. Linking to specific versions
is a maintenance headache to be avoided though; a link to
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information would be
sufficient I think, that's a highly visible page that should always be
kept up to date.
