I don't have time right now to address your whole post, but I did want
to comment on one point.

There is no longer a "mozilla.org staff" as traditionally constituted.
 From a Mozilla community point of view the closest present-day
equivalent is the system described at

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Module_Owners_Activities_Modules

Basically there is a group of people that oversee the Mozilla module
ownership system and the module owners within it. That group in turn
operates under general policy structures set by Mitchell Baker and
Brendan Eich, and as you note the ultimate legal authority resides in
the board of the Mozilla Foundation (of which Mitchell and Brendan are
members).
