I think you are wasting your time, unless you can get the community as a
whole to buy into the notion that it's a profitable use of our time to
try to maintain this bug database.

Personally I won't spend any time on it, because it has exactly the
same flaws that made our previous experiment in bug-tracking go down in
flames: it's incomplete (doesn't track bugs reported via the mailing
lists) and at the same time too complete (tracks everything sent in
via that web form, which includes a lot of non-bugs).

Vince, if I were you I'd just make the page point to the pgsql-bugs
archives (http://www.ca.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-bugs/), which
at least gives people the right impression about activity.
