There is very much a backlog on fixing this. This:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/12eb75f0-3fc2-14f3-0931-4f29e145f182%40cmatte.me
may be a good starting point. It's been on my list for far too long to
review that submission and I haven't gotten around to it, but it can
hopefully help set you on the right track.
The core problem being that some items are created manually using the
scripts in loader/sql and some are in the django models, which is...
Not very good.

Download a mbox file for one month of say pgsql-hackers from the
website, and load that using loader/load_message.py. That's what I
usually do to inject test data. The only thing needed before that is
to create the list pgsql-hackers (well, you can call the list whatever
you want, but it has to be *a* list that you specify with -l to the
loader script). If you get a whole months worth of it it pretty much
always contains a big enough mix of threads to make it useful for
testing.

Yeah, just getting a single-step setup of an initial, if empty,
database would be good.
