Besides Bruce Momjian, Tom Lane is also a defining, fundamental character behind PostgreSQL. His unforgivingly insightful posts on the pgsql-hackers mailing list makes reading it a very entertaining and educative experience.
(By the way, I can't recommend enough reading that mailing list. It's an ongoing masterclass in "this is how grown-ups write software".)
