Do you mean JDBC 3.0 methods? What methods precisely? Are they
implementable?

You can send patches to the pgsql-patches@postgresql.org list,
preferably with a CC to this list. Yes, you will get a response.
Usually, a patch is applied within a week (if the patch is good,
of course).
If a patch to the JDBC driver needs discussion first, that
should be on this list.
