I do understand it comes down to two possibilities:

1) Community is what you download here:

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/

and anything above that is third party involvement and nothing to do 
with the community.

Or

2) As the postgresql.org mentions in many places that I have previously 
cited community includes layers above the source, extending to 
commercial support.

If 1) is correct then yes there is a community communication issue.

If  2) is correct there is not, as you can go here:

https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/

and find support.
