db-engines Ranking for PostgreSQL

Hi,

I was recently going through the ranking of Databases given by
db-engines.com

PostgreSQL was ranked 5th, with a score 7 times lesser than Oracle and
6times lesser than MySQL. You can check their ranking Algorithm over here:
http://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition

I wrote to them asking to improve the same by considering PostgreSQL user
group discussion too for their ranking algorithm. Below is the response I
got:

Hi Sameer,
> Thank you for your interest in our ranking and for your proposal.

I am going to provide them with a link where they can track user
discussions and its frequency. Is there any consolidated view/search/count
for all the different user forums we have in PostgreSQL community?
