But a module like "Layout" doesn't have content (at least, in the same
sense :-).

I don't think it _applies_ to most of the rest of our module
definitions. Most websites (although not all; something like
input.mozilla.org where all the content is user-generated might be an
exception) have human-readable curated content separate from their
technical implementation. I can't think of a core code module which has
this issue.

My concern is this: if we anoint technical maintainer/responsible person
X as the module owner of foo.mozilla.org, I would be concerned if they
then "pulled rank" on /de facto/ content owner Y regarding a content
change. If we can say explicitly when we put up this info that it is
without prejudice to determining the relationship between technical
owners and content owners, then that might be OK.
