As far as I can see, the maintenance scripts have not yet been updated for Postgres, but don't necessarily need much patching to be made to work. Minimal changes to the FiveUpgrade.inc file made it possible for me to get the rebuildImages.php script to work.
I'm seeking feedback as to whether I've missed something obvious about how to perform this upgrade, or whether this is work that could usefully be contributed back to the project, and whether anyone is already working on this and would like to collaborate ?
Quite possibly you could get commit access for the sole purpose of fixing maintenance scripts to work with PostgreSQL (you would have to ask Tim or Brion). Or you could submit your patches to Greg Sabino Mullane, who maintains PostgreSQL support. Or to any other developer (person with commit access) you could find who's interested in making sure that the patches at least don't break MySQL functionality and willing to commit on that basis.
