Though I'm quite new to Mozdev hosting, I've gotten a feel for it. In my
opinion, I think it wouldn't be such a bad thing for it to (in a gradual
and controlled manner) die off. I was surprised to see that it still
uses HTML 4 and CVS, with no Subversion support (among other things). I
think that modernizing Mozdev would be more effort than starting from
scratch.
Long story short, in my ideal world, Mozdev would go into archive mode,
and addons.mozilla.org would sprout Google Code-like functionality.

I wanted to follow up on this to highlight one part of this blog post most
relevant to project owners:
"Going forward, if no individuals or groups step forward it is likely
that the site will wind-down. This would look something like putting the site
into read-only mode for archive purposes, and helping project
owners migrate to other hosting solutions. Only as a last resort would
the site be shut down completely."
I realize we've posted similar calls for involvement in the past, but this
really is the last opportunity to get involved. At this point, moving to
read-only mode is a definite possibility.
Feel free to write back with any questions or comments.
David
