Thanks very much for mentioning my name in this context.
As PostgreSQL is community driven project and is not owned by any
single company, people who wish to sponsor development of major
features need to contact invidual developers or companies providing
such services, rather than making a general posting.
My company, 2ndQuadrant, has been contributing major features to
PostgreSQL for 10 full years now and we aim to accelerate the growth
of community development into the future. 2ndQuadrant guarantees that
all sponsored developments will be contractually bound to novate
copyright to the PostgreSQL Global Development Group and to release
all such code under The PostgreSQL Licence. In addition, wherever
possible, given community discussion, feedback and agreement the code
will be submitted as patches to core PostgreSQL and we will pursue
commit of those changes as well as longer term bug fixing.
