I am leaning toward gborg at the moment. See my recent post on
-hackers.

Note that I Don't Own the Code, PostgreSQL Inc. does. So they're the
ones leading this and doing it. I just volunteered to help figure
out what has to change to release it (there's a lot of cruft in the
original source tree, it seems, and it all came from Toronto. Hmm,
sounds like a horror movie).

The new version really is a quantum leap forward, thanks largely to
some work that my colleague Frank Thompson recently did. Jan Wieck also
found a bug in part of the older code, and fixed it. I _think_ that
bug fix will make it into the released code, but I have to check.
