As part of the ongoing effort to improve our code review process, I've
talked to a variety of people and made some changes to the module owners
page
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mailnews_and_Mail_code_review_requirements>.


First off, thanks to Joey Minta for his reviewing and peer work over the
past few years. Unfortunately, after having left law school, his work
in the legal profession has left him with far less time for reviews than
both he and we would like. He'll still be around, of course, and folks
should feel free to CC him on bugs related to code that he knows and/or
has touched.

Andrew Sutherland (:asuth in Bugzilla) has done a lot of hard work both
in mail/ and mailnews/ core code and has developed a very broad amount
of knowledge about the code base as a whole, so we're making him a peer
of both mail/ and mailnews/. Additionally, he has graciously agreed to
help bienvenu out as a peer for the MIME parsing code as well.

We're also trying to develop more specialization in our reviewing system
so that code gets reviewed by the people who hack on it most and know it
best.

Blake Winton has done a whole bunch of work in various parts of the
Thunderbird front end, and is now the owner of two new submodules that
he has significant experience with: Message Reader, and Toolbars. I'll
be helping out Blake by acting as a peer for the Message Reader module.
Blake, feel free to recruit other qualified folks into helping you out
as peers as well.

I expect there to be more new submodules forthcoming in the
not-too-distant future. I've already got a few more in mind, but if you
have ideas of ones that you think should exist, feel free to shoot me a
private mail with suggestions.

Thanks to both Blake and Andrew for their willingness to pick up some of
the work here and help bring our reviewing system into better shape.

Dan
