Ack; when you're ready to push, I can make those changes in the admin 
(or if simpler, I can also push / change at the same time).

This is a fun one :) I liked "make" because it's in present tense, and 
is true - active contributors continue to make PostgreSQL!

the bottom. I think your reasoning makes sense.
