I would strongly urge you to get those existing structures to
respond to a concrete proposal from "the Thunderbird community"
before discounting them. If you assert independence from all
Mozilla structures, then it'll be hard to argue that you should
be allowed to use the Mozilla assets, be they infrastructure or
brand power.
<br>
<br>
... I don't believe you'll find Mozilla staff clinging to that
control on a detail level, but I do believe that Mozilla
governance systems will resist proposals that are seen as not
thought through enough.

I really don't see why you are reading into what I said
"independence from all Mozilla structures" and "Mozilla staff
clinging to that control at a detail level". I am neither
anti-Mozilla, not anti-Mozilla staff.
<br>
<br>
But I don't see a governance system in place now that is capable
of making strategic choices about the future of the product, or
taking on new initiatives such as monetization - or of making the
"concrete proposal" that you say would be considered.</blockquote>
+1 from me on this one.<br>
<br>
And yes we need to sit down and discuss what to put in place; there
might be an overlap between module owners and other (to be filled)
governance key roles, and it has not been suggested that MOMOs
should be excluded.<br>
