As Thunderbird is based on Firefox ESR, we, Firefox release managers, are also managing uplift requests to improve Thunderbird (especially during the two first ESR releases as we take stability patches). Sometimes, we see important requests coming for Thunderbird which could affect badly Firefox. In these case, we rejects the uplift. Thunderbird developers have to take them into a relbranch of Firefox ESR (which are btw also a source of confusion for Fx RM). While we would still have to do a relbranch for tb specific changes in gecko, having a single repo would simplify the situation.
