PostgreSQL has a chronic problem in Drupal: lack of testers and maintainers
who use it.

We occasionally get someone who is willing to maintain the PostgreSQL for
core
and does so for a while, then disappears then the cycle starts again.

In contrib modules, very few provide PostgreSQL support, for many reasons.

So, if you want proper PostgreSQL support, then start testing and submitting
patches, AND continue to do so in the long term, not just for a month or
two.
