Thank you for starting this discussion. :-) Right now we don't have such a manifesto and, in days gone by, there was always a discussion around the need to have one -- but I believe the time may be right to think of putting one together.
There isn't a feature roadmap, though there is a time-based roadmap (which is a big step forward) at this point: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap Thoughts welcome and onward to a NetBeans manifesto.
