"Do not attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence."

In my experience, both from submitting bugs and watching others' bug 
reports, mozilla's complexity results in glacial progress as soon as 
more than one developer is involved. Somebody would have to "adopt" a 
patch, and take it all the way into the next release, which usually 
does not happen.
