I'm sure this is because there little or no documentation of the system
in english. I tried Usogres sometime ago, and felt really lost. I
managed to install it and maybe even got it to work, but the
documentation was so lacking that I didn't feel confident enough with
it.

I think the same can be said of QueryMaster, plus it isn't mentioned
anywhere. How can I possibly search for documentation on a project if I
don't know it even exists?

One would be tempted to say that GBorg is a good place to list
PostgreSQL related projects. Sadly, GBorg doesn't even have a
connection to the outside world. What value does it have if people
don't know it exists, or can't remember how to get to it? Let alone use
it to find a project...
