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. --Jet On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 9:54 AM, Mitchell Baker <[email protected]> wrote: > One other process I'm thinking we should implement is a discussion when a > Module Owner leaves employment, esp leaving employment at Mozilla.
