It seems fine on the whole, and I have some suggestions.

1. This patch applies current git head cleanly, but installation ends up with failure because of the lack of
pgstattuple--1.0--1.1.sqlwhich added in Makefile.
 

2. I feel somewhat uneasy with size for palloc's (it's too long), and BuildTupleFromCString used instead of
heap_from_tuple..But it would lead additional modification for existent simillars.
 
 You can leave that if you prefer to keep this patch smaller, but it looks to me more preferable to construct the
resulttuple not via c-strings in some aspects. (*1)
 

3. pgstatginidex shows only version, pending_pages, and pendingtuples. Why don't you show the other properties such as
entrypages, data pages, entries, and total pages as pgstatindex does?
