Don't worry, the PyGreSQL list is not such a crowded audience ;)
If nobody jumps in, I can at least put your contribution in our Trac so that it won't get lost. I will have more time later this year and hope to work on PyGreSQL and push it forward again - so we can have 4.2 and 5.x versions as planned (http://trac.vex.net:8000/pgtracker/roadmap).
I think it's just hard to motivate yourself to work on PyGreSQL when there are several great PG drivers for Python already.
But of course it's always good to have some alternative implementations. In this regard, we should explore what to do with "classic" interface. It could be improved and modernized (in backward compatible ways to keep legacy code running), and make it an extension of the DBAPI2 interface, or make it a pure Python module on top of the modern interface (not sure if this works because it has some low-level functionality).
In any case PyGreSQL needs some major refactoring and modernization to get out of the slump again. Maybe that's also the problem why we've currently stalled - it needs more than usual time and energy to do that.

There's a Gary Larson cartoon which has a bunch of humans standing around a space ship, and one of the aliens has obviously just fallen down the stairs. At the top, another alien says "well, so much for inspiring them with a sense of awe". I keep falling down the stairs when sending this patch to the list. I described this patch in a message Monday, in which I spelled asynchronous incorrectly, but the attachment was scrubbed I hope because of the mime type. The next message will have the changes to the C module.
