Hello
Why is it that PostgreSQL chooses to have features like replication, fulltext indexing and GIS maintained by others outside of the sourcetree?
Because those are very diverse features. Replication especially, which is a bunch of different technical solutions for more than a dozen problems. In these matters there is no one size that fits all, and because of that they don't belong into the core distribution of the database server.
For the next replication system I am planning, there need to be some changes to the core server. But these will be reduced to hooks and APIs that will be more general and open to discussion to provide the infrastructure requited by the majority of replication extensions.
