Agree. It puzzles me too since "transition to community ownership" is indeed implying community wasn't owning the project, i.e. MoCo was owning it.
If we still want to advertise that MoCo is part of the community (whether or not it actually is or not, and what it means belongs to another thread), the wording of the the Persona announcement (and the Thunderbird announcement years ago) should probably more straightforward (e.g. "MoCo to stop investing paid employees to active development to X") than something sugarcoated with the one big word "community".
