When a Module Owner is also a Mozilla employee who then leaves Mozilla, it
seems prudent that their Module Ownership is relinquished. There are some
Modules for which Ownership has to be a full Time job. Steven Michaud's
recent departure seems like a good example of how to do that right.

There have been instances where a Module Owner is asked to relinquish
Module Ownership for other reasons. In those cases, I think Emeritus status
and continued Module involvement should be subject to review and approval.
