Many of these mailing lists / newsgroups in particular are ignored,
because, frankly, too many of them were created at some point in the
past (perhaps because it was too easy to start new ones), and then a
bunch of the unused ones are mostly forgotten about. A few of them
(like firefox-dev and dev-platform) are still used, but many of the
others are not.
It's likely better to engage on Bugzilla, or ask questions on Matrix
(see
http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2020/02/20/synchronous-messaging-were-live/ ).
(I alo think a bunch of your questions should be targeted at Firefox
front end engineers, who might not follow dev-privacy, which might
be more likely to be followed by people interested in privacy
aspects of dealing with web content in the Gecko engine. So if you
did choose a mailing list, it would probably be firefox-dev.)

What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
