I'm currently working on backporting (and cleaning up) some of 
tunability changes from https://github.com/damm/postgresql, in addition 
to cleaning up Stephen Figgins' changes on COOK-1064. I'm also going to 
be contributing some validation for the pg_hba.conf customization in 
COOK-1474.

I haven't been working on the foodcritic issues, but I believe that 
Postgres 9 support is working on Ubuntu 11.10+, since the default 
postgres changed, though I noticed that Postgres 9 on Red Hat 
derivatives appears to be lacking.

The work I've been doing is on several branches in 
https://github.com/gregsymons/postgresql. Eventually that repository 
will be moving to the DrillingInfo organization, but I still need DI's 
fork so that I can get the changes I made on top of damm's postgres.

Anyway, it looks like you can probably dig in on the foodcritic stuff 
and the postgres 9 on Red Hat.
