One of the best features of Postgres is Tom Lane. We've been using Postgres since 2000 and following the (user-oriented) mailing lists closely and he's always been responsive, helpful, extremely competent and tactful - a rare mix indeed (unfortunately). He should be the primary role model for FOSS developers, where quirky characters dominate the field. Thanks, Tom!
