Why Github rather than the normal Mozilla setup (Mercurial / Bugzilla / Tinderbox)?
• This is a fresh codebase and has no existing ties to Mozilla infrastructure; there is no particular advantage to (re)using any of the above infrastructure, it would all have to be upgraded and adapted to our needs. • Git has been progressing rapidly in the years since Mozilla picked Mercurial for its main development needs, and appears to be both more widely known and more accessible at this point. • This reduces the administrative requirements for contributing to merely establishing a paper trail via a contributor agreement. There is no need for vouching, granting commit access to Mozilla facilities, or setting up Mozilla user accounts.
