  1. Do you see this as an issue the PostgreSQL community should discuss?
No. I've seen no examples of this. The Postgres ecosystem is thriving, and people jump jobs from one employer to another with no friction right now.

I have not seen any examples of non-compete clauses that prevent the person from contributing to PostgreSQL. The clauses that I have seen & experienced are designed to prevent poaching. 

Agreed - and companies like pgEdge and EDB have policies and often employment contracts that specifically encourage contributions.
