The triage and release team that currently works on Firefox and  
Thunderbird 2.0.0.x releases will continue to triage requests for  
Thunderbird 2.0.0.x and maintain its releases until six months after  
the release of Thunderbird 3.

Note that this will mean that browser-specific security and stability  
bugs will likely be ignored/minused. We'll only be considering bugs  
that affect Thunderbird 2.0.0.x.

That being said, I know Gecko 1.8.0 is still maintained by Linux  
distros and we could hand over most of the branch to willing and  
capable parties as we did in that case.
