+1, but can you say more about why you think that Firefox and FirefoxOS
should have separate modules and decision makers for data collection
issues? I know that our new product-oriented org chart leads us in this
direction, but you're proposing a policy module, not an engineering
module, and it seems to me that data collection (and therefore privacy)
should not be governed by product-level policies but instead by
organization wide manifesto-level policies.
So could we have one overarching module for data collection, with peers
from the individual product lines perhaps?

For a while, there hasn't been a clear decision-maker about data
collection practices within Firefox. This includes lack of clarity
about who needs to approve changes to Firefox Health Report, as well
as uncertainty about what privacy review means and who can "do" a
privacy review. To clarify this and streamline the decision-making
process, I am proposing to own a policy module for this:
Policy Module: Firefox Data Collection
Description: Firefox Data Collection is responsible for the data that
Firefox sends back to Mozilla. This includes reviewing both data
quality and privacy, and approving new types of pings and
measurements. This encompasses measurements included in the current
Firefox Health Report, Telemetry, and crash-stats, as well as other
data that Firefox sends back such as update and blocklist pings.
Owner: Benjamin Smedberg
Peers: Taras Glek
More information about decision-making:

I'm specifically limiting this to Firefox; it does not include Firefox
OS. I think Firefox OS should have a clear decision-maker about its
product data collection, but I am not that person.
I am open to suggestions/nominations for additional peers.
