That would be a Postgres developer question/answer. Many of the
developers are on this list and may respond at some point. If you want
to put the question directly to the developers I would suggest either:

1) Posting to --hackers (https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-hackers/)

2) Filing a bug report:
