I think this is (in part at least) a reflection of the economy finally
picking up. Last year this time I had one major project going on --
right now I'm juggling about a half dozen or so, any one of which could
keep me busy full time. Add a couple of OSCON presentations to prepare,
and several serial disasters/distractions at home (nothing life
threatening, but all time consuming), and that leaves little-to-no time
for recreational Postgres coding :(

This is very true. But the fact that I have been able to commit what
little I have done this release has at least off-loaded some work from
you Bruce, hasn't it? I'm still green enough though that I'm not in a
position to review anything too complex -- someone like Tom or Bruce
would still need to follow up behind me, so it wouldn't really save them
any time.
