It'd be better to discuss on pgsql-www@lists.postgresql.org -- that's 
the mailing list for the website.

Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for getting back.

The request is mainly for the developer community to build and publish s390x binaries, apologies if I wasn't clear
earlier.
We can provide s390x VMs to build and test postgresql binaries if you feel infra is a blocker.

Please let me know if any more information is needed.

Thank you,
Namrata

As Jonathon said, this discussion is not pertinent to this mailing
list. Please use the correct mailing list.

I'm not sure that anyone is going to want to undertake this effort for
free even if you're willing to provide the hardware for free. But your
chances will be a lot better if you ask on the correct mailing list.

Thanks,

Isn't the right place for this the APT packaging team[1]'s list at
pgsql-pkg-debian@postgresql.org?  Not something I'm involved in
myself, but AFAIK it's the same team working on Debian etc packages
and they do get built for s390x already[2] so I guess this is about
doing the same for the PGDG repos, so this is a packaging topic, not a
web topic, and this list wasn't a bad place to start...
