This sounds a lot like the functionality that a temporal data model
would give you. In this model you never delete tuples from your
database, your only insert and update tuples that are valid for
specific periods of time.
If you want to contribute development time, I would check out
postgresql's temporal db project on PGfoundry. This project is just
getting started and could benefit from a lot of development help.
