We're working through the list. If you don't want to see the sausage

What's greedy about:
1) making a list of technologies which are used by Mozilla
2) discussing how the money would help make better software that
Mozilla can use
3) then writing this all in a coherent manner, as a proposal for this
particular project.
We're at 1), and we're doing it in the open. I think this should be
seen as a positive. Furthermore, making that list would require a great
understanding of both Mozilla's projects and GNOME's. This isn't
something easy, and I'm glad that Sahil went through a first pass.

Because Mozilla products (Firefox in particular) use a lot of GNOME
technologies, especially when running Linux.

One, about a11y, which we merged into a campaign of ours:
