The non-Firefox part of this module proposal lives outside of Firefox and would be updated out-of-band from Firefox.
The location of the source code is not the important issue, IMO. So far at least the Firefox module has covered all user-facing aspects of the browser, and the new tab page is no different. Where it is hosted and how it's implemented should not affect what module governs it.
You can document the knowledge of the proposed owners and peers by adding them as Firefox peers focusing on specific parts of the browser code. I think for all intents and purposes the end result is the same for you. For example, I'm a Firefox peer, but I usually only review private browsing specific code.
If you think a new module is really warranted here, you should probably get dcamp's green light since this is really breaking an existing part of a module into a new module. Also as I mentioned before, as a pure matter of technicality, if you want to create a new module you should figure out how you'd do that with Firefox not having submodules. The new module would need a home. :-)
Basically, except for the parts where we are tethered to Firefox to, this web application is independent of Firefox. This opens up possibilities... who knows, we may make a Firefox newtab for Chrome.
The awesome upcoming development will hopefully happen no matter what module governs the code. In the current Firefox module, individual peers make decisions governing their own areas and I trust that the same system can give you enough altitude to explore the future of the module as you'd like. :-)
