Actually no, you can list them on less than two hands. There are MANY
companies yes, but there are only a few that contribute at the level
that I am talking about.
SRA - Bruce/Tatsuo - Core and MultiByte
Fujitsu - TableSpaces and a programmer sponsor
RedHat - Tom Lane - Enough said.
Afilias - Jan, Andrew (and one other I don't recall)
Command Prompt - MySelf (Editor N Chief), Sergey and all the code we
have already hashed over
HUB/PGSQL - Marc -- bandwidth, server resources
Agliodbs - JoshB -- Advocacy and Core
If I missed a company I apologize.

And no it wouldn't. I brief blurb, three sentences at the end of a major
release PR. -- Thanks to: <small list>

Then we are obviously not as opposed you we possibly seemed.
