I’ve been acting as the owner for the add-ons manager for the past little while and while I have always cared a lot about the add-ons space it is time to formerly pass over the torch. So I was pleased that Rob Helmer was willing to take it over from me.
Rob has been doing some exceptional work on making system add-ons (used as part of the go faster project) more robust and easier for Mozilla to use. He’s also been thinking lot about improvements we can make to the add-ons manager code to make it more friendly to approach.
As my last act I’m updating the suggested reviewers in bugzilla to be him, Andrew Swan (who in his own right has been doing exceptional work on the add-ons manager) and me as a last resort. Please congratulate them and direct any questions you may have about the add-ons manager towards Rob.
