I think this could best live as an external project.

orafce is a similar project but for Oracle.  There might also be others
for other products.

For projects like this it is better to be an external project - it doesn't depend on Postgres release cycles - so development can be faster. Really, significantly faster.
And there is bigger space for some experiments and improvements - and for future changes.

Pavel
