At the moment there is no one at Mozilla “in charge” that has awareness of the add-on community’s plight. It’s sadly true that Mozilla has been divesting in add-on support for awhile now. To be fair, I think the inital divestments were good ones, the Add-on Builder website was a money pit for example. The priority has shifted to web apps, and the old addons.mozilla.org team is working mostly on the marketplace (which is no longer for add-ons, and is now just for apps), and the Add-on SDK team is now mostly working on Firefox DevTool projects.

At the moment we have only a few staffers working on addons.mozilla.org and the SDK, and none of us have an authority to make decisions or end debates, there is a tech lead for the SDK but that is not a position that has the authority to make directional decisions, or decide how staffers prioritize their work and spend their time, each person’s manager will be in charge of that, and our managers are DevTool and Marketplace people..

Either we all agree on a direction or we don’t.
