Hi,
In the last pg_hba example on the page md5 is used as method. Maybe it
should be changed to scram-sha-256 as that is the preferred method?

Agreed, I was just looking at it after reading the report. @Mikael: would you
like to try your hand at proposing a patch for this?

Great! Feel free to ask anything either here, on the PostgreSQL Hacking
Discord or in an off-list email, whichever you prefer. The file in the source
tree you want to be looking at is doc/src/sgml/client-auth.sgml.
