I agree - one of the areas it would be great to have some development work done around is making replication administration simpler and easier. One feature which would be really nice to have is the ability to do a manual switchover, ie making the existing master into a replica and an existing replica into the new master. Another poster mentioned repmgr which looks good but hasn't had a release in sometime ( https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/repmgr/blob/master/HISTORY https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/repmgr/blob/master/HISTORY ) with 2 new Postgres releases since, although there does seem some sporadic work on a new beta.
