Dave is the guy who did the aforementioned quick-n-dirty port. AFAIK
he doesn't really have time to do the wholesale redesign that the
Bugzilla developers have decided they need to have any database
independence.

The "doesn't quite make the best use of PG" quote is one of the best
examples of buck-passing I've seen in awhile. If Bugzilla had been
designed with some thought to DB independence to start with, we'd not
be having this discussion.
