Maybe a better solution for the short run would be
return the page where it was, and but links to the pgsql-bugs and
pgsql-hackers archives with some sort of exmplanatory saying that "this is
a *complete* (it must be complete of course) list of bugs, which are
being extensively discussed in the these lists and fixed. Please, visit/search
these mail archives for most up-to-date information blah blah blah" One can
invent some appropriate wording, I guess. But this atleast will show people
that there's work acually going on, and on daily basis. And also a good idea
to have "Last updated" time stamp on the page too... so it doesn't seem
to be forgotten for ages..
