Well, actually I've been trying to work on it, but without much luck. I have two patches pending (<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168614> and (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213753>), but in two months of trying it has been impossible to get someone to review them. Perhaps they're not the most important of problems, but bug 168614 at least is marked critical, and the other bug is a nice, simple bloat reduction. I don't want to make this a rant about how my patches are being ignored, but clearly there's a problem here. The module has problems, but the people willing to work on it are being ignored. The module lacks an owner, but there's no way for a would-be volunteer to prove (or develop) the expertise with it. The core developers see no owner and nobody working on it, and call the module dead.
