I'm guessing this has never been used (at least with pyPgSQL, anyway), since it has a function listRequest defined thusly:

Indeed. I developed it while I was still using MySQL. I was surprised to read that PostgreSQL doesn't implement COALESCE, so I checked the docs. They claim it has been supported since 6.5. Are you running an expecially old version? :)
And my next guess would be that it's never been tested, either. Correct?
Probably not. I certainly haven't, and the unit test coverage for this backend is non-existent. I was tempted to remove it a long time ago, but decided to leave it in in case anyone wanted to build on top of it. It's probably not great database code. Deprecating it now and removing it in a while sounds like a good idea.
