Modules/Core

Only module owners may edit this page.

They may:

• update any information about their module except the name of the owner
• add or remove sub-modules
• change the owner of a sub-module
• add emeritus owners or peers

Other changes, including changes of module owner or addition/removal of modules, must be agreed with the Module Ownership Module group, probably via a discussion in mozilla.governance.
