There's half a dozen commits from back around 1996 applied by Marc
on behalf of Julian Assange <proff(at)suburbia(dot)net>, and then about
half a dozen committed by "julian" without any other ID. The first
of the former is

1996-07-18 01:48 scrappy

* src/: bin/monitor/monitor.c, bin/psql/psql.c,
interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c, interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h: libpq and
psql.c have been modified to do various things they didn't do
before (plus some optimisations/bug fixes et al). I've included a
small demo transcript below. Note that all of of the display
functionality/intelligence you see here, can be had merely by
calling the new LIBPQ PQprint() routine with the appropriate
arguments/options, including the HTML3 output guff.

submitted by: Julian Assange <proff(at)suburbia(dot)net>

and the last of the latter is

1996-08-20 20:22 julian

* src/bin/psql/psql.c: command line flag for expanded display '-x'
had logic reversed

So far as I can see, he only contributed to psql not the backend.

Oh wait, here is one where he identifies himself as "proff":

1996-07-25 02:46 julian

* src/bin/psql/psql.c: Large re-write/enhancement. In pg-101 Jolly
only included a smaller part of my (proff) patch. This is the rest
of it, with a few, mainly aesthetic changes. I've removed a lot of
redundency from the original code, added support for the new
PQprint() routines in libpq, expanded tables, and a few generally
nifty ways of massaging data in and out of the backend. Still needs
some good stress testing.

So this committer is him, not some other Julian.
