One thing I would like to see is a more direct link to the drivers
(e.g. DBD::Pg, JDBC)  from the download page. I don't think they need to
live in contrib, but having them on the download page right next to
the latest PG server files would do wonders. All the maintainers of
external projects would have to do is make sure that the link points to
where they want it to.
For example. look at how MySQL handles the DBD::mysql client (which is
hosted at CPAN, not mysql).
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/index.html
The download page above has the server links, a few others, and then:
"DBI -- for connecting to MySQL from Perl"
Clicking on "DBI" gives you a small, clean page that explains what DBI
is and gives links to DBI and DBD::mysql, both hosted on cpan.org.
