Here is a new FAQ entry:

    <H3><A name="1.13">1.13</A>) Who controls PostgreSQL?<BR>

    <P>If you are looking for a PostgreSQL gatekeeper, central committee,
    or controlling company, give up, because none exists.  We do have a
    core committee and CVS committers, but these groups are more for
    administrative purposes then control.  The project is directed by
    the open community of developers and users of PostgreSQL.  Everyone
    is welcome to subscribe and take part in the discussions.  (See the
    <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_DEV.html">
    Developer's FAQ</A> for information on how to get involved in PostgreSQL
    development.)</P>

Adjustments?
