There are reasons. We are and going to be the face of the postgresql project.
It's not about setting things up and getting it running. That's technicality
and I'm sure we could do that easily.

It's not about 'getting it done' but about 'keep getting it done'. People come
and go. Not always because they don't want to work on  this but due to some
genuine problem.

Such things should keep running whether or not few people are there. I second
the opinion of haing it as a gborg project, properly access controlled and
documented as far as possible.

I would be glad to do documentation part. Let me know what I can do..
