Everything is an issue of faith. PostgreSQL is able to operate easily
without draconian rules by using a level of trust for its participants.

In business, I am taking faith that someone will pay the invoice for the
work rendered. If they don't, I sue. That is no different with PostgreSQL.

If the PostgreSQL Liaison started acting in a way that was directly
counter to the implicit interests of the PostgreSQL community, he/she
could be removed by the PostgreSQL Fundraising Group.

Further if it was considered fraudulent activity the SPI could sue and
or file charges (depending on what happen) that individual.

Sincerely,
