Why would we subject new contributors to a social contract or
agreement that existing contributors do not have to abide by?

Which staff member? Are all staff members going to be trained how to
accept and route such emails?

This seems like it needs to be changed considering there are a number
of permissible uses of Mozilla's logos and trademarks that do not
require written permission.

My other thoughts are that overall this seems a bit overbearing and I
cannot think of another open source project/community that has any
agreements like this. Sure there are Contributor License Agreements
and Code of Conduct's both of which we have but nothing like this...
I'm just wondering what were hoping to achieve with this document?
