Ehsan, I'm sure I'm speaking for many Mozillians when I say thank you for running this service - from building on Chris Double's initial work, keeping it running while dealing with GitHub shenanigans, and for assisting with a transition plan to its natural successor. You could easily have done nothing, but you stepped up and enabled countless people to access the Firefox source code on their terms. If that's not worthy of spamming dev-planning for, I don't know what is.
