BTW, so far as that goes: it's just a weak anti-bot measure.
If you try it in Firefox you'll get an explanation:
A username and password are being requested by
https://www.postgresql.org. The site says: "Please authenticate
with user archives and password antispam"
Unfortunately, we've found that most other browsers don't present that
message :-(
