Dan,
I thought that we had agreed that we could land this patch if we
have introduced no regression into the existing address book
functionality. See the comments in:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78933
As the LDAP and Outlook functionality is only enabled by
manually editing the prefs.js file, then there is no
other way of activating this code in the absence of
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83023
So, while I understand that there were reasons for not putting
it into milestone 0.9.2, why has there benn absolutley no
activity on this bug since. All it needs is for QA to test
that the Address Book functionality continues to behave as
before. How difficult can that be?
Thus the review process could continue. You created the bug:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80172
to collect any regressions.
I must admit to a certain amount of justified frustration on our
part at what seems to be no activity on the Mozilla end to attempt
to QA and land this patch. We have been trying to land this since
April 20th.
