The bit on the wiki is helpful for developers trying to get a new
feature implemented but I think that's where its scope ends.
There seem to be occasional person wandering by here that it really
doesn't help though. Periodically you'll see "I want feature $X in
PostgreSQL. I'm willing to help fund it. What do I do?". In most
of those that have wandered by recently, $X is a known feature any
number of other people want. Good sample cases here are recent
requests to help fund or implement materialized views, supporting
queries on read-only slaves, and SQL window support.
I don't think these people need guidance on how to manage the
project, they need some sort of way to feel comfortable saying "will
pledge $Y for feature $X" in a way that makes sense on both sides.
That's what I thought, too. That page just needs a different title.
