It's a nice offer, but honestly, my experience in the commercial world 
as well as in FOSS tells me that a bug tracking system would need loving 
care from somebody with years of experience in the postgres development 
community.

When I was managing this stuff in a commercial setting it took a large 
part of my day - I had a 30 to 60 minute meeting every morning and spent 
a further similar period updating, assigning, etc. The people who could 
do it are just too damned busy. Given the amount that Tom gets done now 
I'm amazed that he finds time to eat drink and sleep.

The things I tried to suggest earlier in this thread would be much less 
burdensome.

As for central management ... the phrase "herding cats" springs to mind.

cheers
