Well, if some pgsql distribution (say a Foo Package Manager packet
for FooBar *nix) has a modified pg_hba.conf then indeed this
FooBar *nix can be considered as pg_hba.conf's author.
Anyhow I still think >>core<< can be considered as original
author of pg_hba.conf default contents.

...and right you are, pgsql-bugs is the right place.

But all this discussion is getting pointless so I shall from now on
abstain from sending to this thread. ;)
