I don't see the relevance of the domainname at all. I type in
"postgres.org" and it redirects to "postgresql.org". If the names were
reversed, I would assume "postgresql.org" would be redirecting to
"postgres.org". (Same could - and should - of course go for .anything,
assuming we have access to the domain)

So tell your customer whatever seems easiest (yes, that's most likely
postgres - that would be even easier than pgsql.org, if we had it, since
it's easily pronouncable) and let's have a computer deal with sorting
that part out.
