Or I might. ;-)

Attached is a patch that implements "postgresql.init reload" and
"postgresql.init force-reload" as per LSB 1.1.0 Chapter 19[*].

Actually, that chapter makes for some fine reading. For instance, I quote

"""
Init files must ensure that they will behave sensibly if invoked with
start when the service is already running, or with stop when it isn't, and
that they don't kill unfortunately-named user processes.
"""
