But it does! You pointed it out yourself .... for the hackers & OSS tech
people, they can just look at the descriptions of the major contributors and
figure things out for themselves. They don't need a list with company logos
& links.
This is important because we've (people on the Advocacy list) briefly
discussed expanding this page to cover companies which, in the future, make
*financial* contributions to PostgreSQL ... sort of a "corporate donors"
page. This works very well in standard nonprofit fundraising; the project
gets $, and the donors get publicity. Obviously, contributors would have to
be categorized, but that's an issue for when we're ready to set it up.

I can't tell over e-mail whether you're agreeing with me or being sarcastic.
Clue?
