Bouncing this over to -advocacy, where I think it belongs.

Does someone have the freecode.com login?

 For the records, I usually update Barman info on freecode. I could help
 maintaining information for Postgres on freecode, if you like. My
 account is angusgb. No obligation. ;)

 There are two options now:

 a) I insert the current stable versions (with today's date) for all
 maintained releases, plus 9.2.0 and 9.3.0
 b) I wait for the next minor version to come out

 I see pros and cons in both approaches, so I'd like to hear from you
 for advice.

 Thanks,
 Gabriele

Uh, either is fine.  Might as well put up the most recent version of
every branch.

If that meant PG wouldn't actually show up on those sites, that'd be
fine, but that's not how it works.  *Someone else* will just end up
posting about us up there when they figure out we're not listed or
whatever, and then it'll end up in the same situation.

    Thanks,

considering that there is a release checklist, starting from packaging straight though to press releases, why isn’t
thispart of that checklist in the first place?    

it gets sporatically maintained because nobody thinks about it … make it part of the checklist of what needs to be done
atrelesae, and it will no longer be forgot …

Well, sure, if SF maintains it directly, that's great.
