Hi,

For this kind of extension I think the main thing to do is to build a 
proof of concept and see if there is any interest. Plus here on -hackers 
is not the right place to ask anyway since this list is mostly concerned 
with hacking on PostgreSQL and not concerned with writing extensions.

There are other places where actual PostgreSQL users hang out, e.g. the 
-general mailing list, but in those places I would still recommend 
showing up with a PoC extension. People are much more interested in 
giving feedback if there is some code rather than giving feedback to a 
plan for something which may not even get built.

Andreas
