The most that can really be drawn is "no one responded".  I wouldn't
read more into it than that- any of the above are possible and it's most
likely some combination of those and other factors across the various
people on the list.

The way to address that, in my view at least, would be to respond to the
email you sent to the list, after waiting a while- don't bombard the
list, but after a week is probably alright.  In that response, ideally,
you'd include what updates you have, things you've done to try and
figure out the answer yourself, etc.

Ultimately, though, these lists are essentially all monitored and
responded to on a volunteer basis and your question may continue to go
unanswered indefinitely.  If you'd like a higher level of service, then
there are support companies available for PostgreSQL who are happy to
provide it.

Thanks!

Stephen
