You could always start a page on the developer's wiki:
http://developer.postgresql.org/
That would seem to be a good place to at least describe the problem in detail,
show how you would like a feature to behave, and have people add the pros and
cons of certain approaches. Certainly would be better to have a page to point
to rather than trying to trawl through mailing archives (heck, the page could
even mostly be a collection of such links).
