Thanks for all the efforts on this. It is nice to see us explicitly
moving toward modernizing our community policies and creating an openly
inclusive community. There are a couple of notes I have about this:

I think we need language that explicitly states that this is about
participation within postgresql.org only. It is not postgresql.org's
mission or purpose to police actions outside of their domain. The
following minor modification would work:

"To that end, we have established this Code of Conduct for community
interaction and participation within the Postgresql.org project."

There is no language that protects different political or social views.
In today's climate it is important especially as we are a worldwide
project. Something simple like the following should be enough:

"Examples of personal characteristics include, but are not limited to
age, race, national origin or ancestry, religion, political affiliation,
social class, gender, or sexual orientation."
