The blog post, repo and your comment still leave me a little confused about what Supabase's wrappers project is, the intent and its current state.

So this "wrappers" project is just a framework that simplifies the development and manages the curation and distribution of Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers? At the end of the day, are these just FDWs that run on top of any Postgres instance? Do I have to run Supabase to take advantage of the FDWs created through this framework?

Additionally one of your examples is Snowflake, but I don't see a matching SF FDW in your repo? Is there a generic JDBC/SQL/etc FDW for any SQL based database like Snowflake, Oracle, etc? Or is this just to create a spark in someone's mind (guilty!) about what is possible and yet to be implemented?

Despite my confusion, this sounds like a very exciting project to follow.
