I'm interested in supporting it, but if we're going to do it, we should
do it properly. If there really is nothing needed but to allow dumping
of shapes, then thats fine, but it doesn't seem like it would be all
(and I don't know PostGIS so can't really make an informed comment).
Mark; can you comment on what would be needed in pgAdmin to claim we
support PostGIS?

There is no add-in functionality at the moment, though we have discussed
using the embeddable python interpreter to add something.
I'm happy to accept suitable patches to do what is required in the core
code though, provided they cover enough for us to claim we support
PostGIS, and not just odd bits of it.
