Well, I'm planning on updating my2pg.   Of the 3 packages available (one from 
Thomas Lockhart, one from Donna Pavlusinc, and my2pg, originally from Max 
Rudensky), it is the most functional.  That's kind of a shame, since the Perl 
is pretty sloppy, but it does work.

I'd be happy to take the lead as maintainer of my2pg.  But, I want to move it 
to pgFoundry (due for launch as soon as I get my other 10 super-urgent tasks 
out of the way) , and take it out of /contrib.     I feel pretty strongly 
that it will be more visible and easier to maintain on its own than in 
/contrib.
