Contacts
- Are you trying to get in touch with an abandoned add-on? You can message to amo-editors@mozilla.org or the moderators of IRC channel #amo-editors on the irc.mozilla.org server. This is their policy:
- The AMO editors need a valid reason from you as they are not allowed to contact developers of add-ons themselves.
- They also need your e-mail address so that they can share that.
- You also need to give them permission to share your e-mail address so the person can get in contact with you.
