Please suggest how best to propose that the following feature be added to PostgreSQL's roadmap?

Ability to "Alter column position" as described in the section "Adding alter column syntax into postgres" of
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Alter_column_position(and the two links in that section). 

Once implemented in tables, I would suggest a command perhaps similar to that in mysql
(http://trebleclick.blogspot.com/2009/02/reorder-mysql-table-columns.html)as well as adding the feature to pgadmin and
toPostgreSQL views. 

I would suggest that addition of this feature should be considered common sense.
