I talked this over with Olivier, I'm OK with the repository implementing the new tab page being its own module.
I will retain ownership of the related browser/ code, but grant peerhood to the best folks to review that area. I'll assert that the ownership of Firefox allows me the option to not make use of this new tab page module, and therefore I think that at a high level ehsan's concerns about the Firefox module ownership of frontend should be addressed.
