I think the problem is that when a big brand like Mozilla back a project, everyone else in the community not directly involved with Mozilla sits back and waits for something to happen. Everyone assumes that &quot;Mozilla&quot; will do the work and that a project will magically appear, be maintained and continue to grow needed features, except for perhaps the odd drive-by contribution.<p>In fact, the opposite needs to happen. For a project to grow, it needs to attract core contributors, not repel them. This is especially true if the project&#x27;s core contributors don&#x27;t have an obvious business model to help pay for their time.
