Citus Data paid for one full-time Postgres developer for a while (me, before I left), and a few employees contributed things on and off. That didn't really provide Citus with a meaningful amount of control over the community, hence Microsoft didn't have that either after the acquisition. Since then Microsoft has hired a few Postgres contributors (Jeff Davis, Thomas Munro, me, David Rowley, Melanie Plageman) to work on Postgres itself. While larger than before, that's still not anything close to a controlling fraction of Postgres developers. Microsoft has - I guess I can't really provide anything more than just my word on it - been giving us a lot of latitude what we work on. FWIW.
