I suppose that, on principle, you're right. In the past, I would have readily done so. But today my idealism is severely tempered by the pragmatic realization that there are now hundreds of open bugs and RFEs that I have filed, some years old, that have gone nowhere. I doubt that a few more will make any difference. MoCo can't even be bothered to make Bugzilla's patch diff tool work properly with Hg patches, and Hg is their primary repository now.
Well, Ben Hearsum is working on the TryServer _right_ _now_: http://blog.mozilla.com/bhearsum/archives/103
When I consider the ENORMOUS push-back that I got from MoCo when I called for steps to be taken to allow me to end spam in this mailing list, a request that seemed to me to have no reasonable opposition, save from spammers, I have little remaining expectation that any requests to MoFo/MoCo that are seen as benefiting only NSS will ever come to fruition.
Well, since you brought it up, I didn't think your approach regarding spam on the mailing list was either particularly tactful or proportionate. But anyway, this wouldn't necessarily benefit only NSS; other bits of Mozilla are pulled by tag or branch.
