Sounds good, but the classic API als has some low level features which 
are Postgres specific (large objects, bytea, oid etc.) and/or 
difficult/impossible to implement based on a pure DB-API2.

That would be great. It will also make the project more attractive for 
other developers. Maybe you can also install a Trac instance if you 
don't want to host it at SF or Google where they already have trackers.
