Firefox's private copy of NSS is maintained by the PSM module owners:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Security_-_Mozilla_PSM_Glue

You'll need to get review+ from a PSM module owner.  Just like a good QA
team should not ignore critical test failures in spite of an imminent deadline,
a good code reviewer should not allow a fellow programmer to cut serious
corners in coding in spite of an imminent deadline.

We are not talking about an Alpha or developer preview release.
This is Firefox Beta 9/ Fennec Beta 4.  At this point in the release
cycle, shouldn't we be fixing only release blocker bugs, rather than
rushing new features in?
