What Hacker News says

4 sources
Mozilla webdev here. I could be wrong, but given that the repo is still on Josh's github account (https://github.com/jdm/asknot) rather than the official Mozilla organization (https://github.com/mozilla/), my guess is that it's not "official". I'm almost certain we know about it after the last time it hit Hacker News, and given the amount of people contributing to it (https://github.com/jdm/asknot/commits/master) there's at least some level of effort in making it better, but it probably doesn't have priority over official entry points for contribution, like http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/
