My interpretation of those names involving "extension" would be that
that is a mailing list where the authors of plr, orafce, and ip4r hang
out and discuss battling the idiosyncrasies of pgxs. Which might be
useful (probably not), but it's totally not what this mailing list
proposal is meant for.
I'm personally not opposed to pgsql-forks, but I see that this name
could be contentious. How about something like pgsql-derived-hackers?
