I don't think so.  According to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233453#c12
Mozilla's Root CA cert policy went into effect in January 2006.

The full chronology of the additions of certificates to the list since NSS
version 3.0 in March 2000 is shown in
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt&mark=1.38

I believe that all the certs added beginning with revision 1.38 (and all
later revisions) were added according to the Mozilla policy and process.
Some of the certificates added since then do not appear to have bug numbers
in the pdf file cited above.  For example, NetLock's "Class QA" cert was
added in revision 1.39 in June 2006 per bug 313942, but no bug number
appears beside that cert in the pdf file.

I think more work is needed to populate the table with all the relevant
bug numbers.  Fortunately, the bonsai page shown above should be a great
starting place to find all the missing bug numbers.
