Then you're just guessing wrong. mozdev.org is great and is a very welcome and good place for development of all kinds of things (that's where the "dev" in the name comes from, right?) but it does not aim to be and isn't an add-ons download entry point for all users. AMO on the other hand is just that, and it's quite good at it. If the review times there discourage you, then what you should do is help that situation by taking part in the review process (and it has improved much over the last months, from what I hear). What you criticized when I made those statements was that www.seamonkey-project.org does not link mozdev on the front page, but has AMO in its menus. I think mozdev would make a good addition to the community page there, but it isn't and won't ever be (as it's not designed to be that) the prime entry point for users downloading extensions/add-ons. Once, again, nobody is wasting his time by using the great infrastructure of mozdev.org for development, project websites, documentation and whatever else. But everyone creating add-ons, here or elsewhere, and not uploading them to AMO is missing good chances to get users of his work, as AMO is and will be in the foreseeable future the prime entry point for add-on downloads for Mozilla applications, at least for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Sunbird.
