I don't know what you mean by a "concerted effort." Maybe five Enigmail
users count under your definition, maybe fifty: maybe two people within
Mozilla, or maybe nobody has to be within Mozilla, etc. All I can say
is that at various times people have tried to push for this, but so far
without success. There seem to be two major reasons for this:
* S/MIME is already irrelevant to the vast majority of
Thunderbird users, and providing OpenPGP would just
introduce a redundant irrelevant capability
* Enigmail requires a binary that's not maintained by
Mozilla, which is released on its own schedule, and
is licensed under terms other than those Mozilla
prefers
