Thunderbird/Proposal: New Release and Governance Model

Excerpt:
A simple governance model:
Thunderbird will be driven by a lightweight structure, focusing on producing security updates and suited to welcome community contributed innovations:

- Thunderbird modules owners (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules) will remain in charge of their module and will allow community contributions innovation on their own merits. Module ownership is open to any contributor and can evolve over time.

- A Release Drivers team will produce the Thunderbird updates every six weeks and work with module owners on the planning and integration of the community contributed innovations.

- Mozilla will continue to provide paid staff, logistics and infrastructure for the release drivers team to produce updates and new releases with the same level of quality than today. Support will continue to be provided by the Thunderbird community and Mozilla will continue to provide the required infrastructure.
