IMO it’s actually ok that Mozilla is a company and some of its activities will be proprietary. I don’t expect the search deals to be operated through community for example. But that doesn’t mean abandoning open governance entirely!

s/won't/won't or can't/, since that's also a myth! Mozilla has historically had active module owners, high-level leadership "staff", and even a sysadmin who were not employees.
-
I struggled with the wording there. There are many excuses people use: - won't - can't - won't be interested - can't be skilled enough - won't have enough context In practice there are many counterexamples to each excuse in almost all areas (including sysadmin as you said)
-
Sysadmin is actually a very "easy" one, because lots of people happen to know how to do ops, and many of them in principle are excited about "contributing to Firefox" So you can get people who do this kind of thing for a living to help and feel awesome doing it.
-
It's hard because of the level of trust required.
-
Yeah. The more a project resists using employment as a proxy for trust, the easier it is for contributors to level up to being trusted enough to take on a sensitive role like that.
-
Meanwhile we currently have problems with marketing refusing to trust localizers wrt translations (and ending up doing things wrong by overriding their localized judgement, no less).
-
O_o Is this normal?
