Other projects need even more intensive coding help.  OpenOffice, for

Does it really need one since it supports JDBC and ODBC?


It's not about what OO needs, it's about what PG needs. Consider this; if database M works out of the box... but database P requires you to go find some third party software and download it and install it in order to work... you tell me which one is going to have the advantage in new user adoption?

Well then, why don't we convince the OO people to bundle either ODBC or ODBCng with OO.
