I can confirm that webmaster@ works as we have received several
emails there per day; please try resending.

That is great to hear!

The “Featured User” list is woefully out-of-date and we keep on punting the
issue of what to do with it. To keep it up-to-date, it does require determining
if the companies featured on the list are still using Postgres, etc., so we need
to make a conscious decision if this is something we want to support.

It does look good for the community to have such a list as it does show there
are people using PostgreSQL in real applications throughout the world,
but we need to make sure that we can accurately portray this list to the community.

In summary: we’ll see what we can do.

Thanks,

Jonathan
