Thought I'd mention that I too have had this experience.  It is
especially difficult in the era of Linux, because people think of
Linux as being controlled by him (and in some sense it is).  So they
want to know who controlls PostgreSQL.  Indeed, even the "core"
developer group is fetishized (in the Marxian sense) by certain
manager types I've met.
