Mozilla is just a mouthpiece nowadays. Google money goes in, bullshit comes out. They are only around to accept Google money and to do so, they don't have to actually compete, they just have to be bigger than the alternatives.
If they self hosted a git forge, that would mean paying less money to some "thought leader" and we all know they can't have that!

I personally wouldn't go that far tbh, but I haven't rly looked into it that much so idk.
To me it seems like they are still maintaining Firefox, Gecko, and Thunderbird (which is more independent tho IIRC) quite well.
I use Thunderbird directly and Firefox through Librewolf
(haven't rly had the drive to look into Thunderbird analogues to Librewolf. Should rly do that tho)
