Yes, we do have an 'IP Map' capability to take the originating IP
address of the email and try to map its location. While not always
accurate, it does give a general sense of where the emails are coming
from, so helps in understanding the geographical reach.
We mapped emails for messages to the pgsql-general list a while ago.
The resulting map is at:

We were waiting for someone from the pgsql-www team to tell us if
they want to embed such maps on the Postgtresql.org web site.
