We as developers do not need mission statements, per se' but it is often useful
as something to point to.

I am writing a business plan for my company and I was looking for PostgreSQL's
mission statement. Of course I did not see one. It is very interesting seeing
what people are coming up with.

IMHO, if we can come up with a strong, positive statement, it would help MBA
trained CIOs and CTOs choose PostgreSQL. To them, it will show a professional
minded development group, it will be recognizable to them.
