The fun thing about moderating these sections of the website: after you
make a pass at it, it immediately becomes stale ;) It is a classic cat &
mouse game.

The policy states "Further, the web site you link to in the listing must
somewhere mention PostgreSQL as an offered service or platform."[1]
I think this fine. We have listings that range from solo practioners to
multibillionaire organizations. I think the goal overall is to be
encouraging.
And as stated above, arguably each entry goes stale the moment after
it's reviewed. It's the nature of the game.

Yes, I would agree with contacting them.

Sounds good.

If they are doing work with PostGIS, I believe that qualifies as being
related to PostgreSQL.

If you are reaching out to these organizations directly, please include
webmaster@ on the correspondences, as that will save time on the
moderation team verifying.
Thanks again for working on this!
