Ah.  I thought they hung out in mozilla.dev.security?  That's much
more likely, anyway -- the PSM folks don't care about the
cryptography, they just care about trying to expose its functionality
to the user without bogging down in details, and I'm pretty sure the
decision to change the certificate exception dialog was discussed
there.
