OK. So, while the "Module" name might start to be a bit
inaccurate, the Mozilla module owner system is basically a way
of saying who is responsible for stuff. There already exist a
number of non-code 'modules': <br>

There's no reason why there shouldn't be many more. If we want
to put peole in charge of marketing or design, it doesn't
require an entirely new governance system to achieve that. <br>

I see - so module would catch all even the non-development stuff.
One thing I see is that this on an overall level (all Mozilla
products), whereas I believe we need (some of) such (sub)modules
under the Thunderbird heading. Let's review the list we have got
currently:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Thunderbird </li>
<li>Build Config </li>
<li> 3-pane and standalone message views</li>
<li>Address Book </li>
<li>Compose</li>
<li>Instant Messaging</li>
<li>Preferences and Account Settings</li>
<li>Testing Infrastructure</li>
<li>Theme</li>
</ul>
<p>As I understand this, the owner is understood as "benevolent
dictator" and the peers are the "team", would that roughly
describe the current organization? I would just like to
understand how the decisions are made and enforced.<br>

<li> Marketing</li>

Kent, would adding modules like this cover what you think is
required?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
