column-level privilege can be added to a release version of PostgreSQL? and
is there someone who is working on the problem?

It would certainly be a welcome feature, but there are no concrete plans for
it yet.

There was someone fooling with it awhile ago, but we've not heard from
him lately --- IIRC he was last seen trying to deal with the fact that
parts of the system assume pg_attribute tuples are fixed-width. Check
the archives.

You can often achieve similar effects with VIEWs and RULEs / TRIGGERs.
