While I dislike staring gift horses in the mouth, I have to say that
the people I think could do it (a) are getting paid more than $24K/yr,
and (b) are names already seen regularly in the PG commit logs. If
there's anyone in category (b) who works for Command Prompt, I missed
the connection.
I have no doubt that a competent programmer could learn the Postgres
innards well enough to do the job; as someone pointed out earlier in
this thread, none of the core committee was born knowing Postgres.
I do, however, doubt that it can be done in six months if one has
any significant learning curve to climb up first.
