The people with the real knowledge seem to mostly have "@netscape.com" in their
email addresses. Most of what I know about this project came from reading their
docs, their code, and - sometimes - their email replies. And yes you are right,
as we get closer to mozilla 1.0 - their appearance in forums like this seems
more scarce. Perhaps after the 1.0 milestone, documentation will get some more
attention.

I can't imagine a single document trying to describe all that mozilla does. If
you come across an area that is lacking - write something up, put it online, and
post a message here. Also check out the docs page below and ask if they will
post you guide, FAQ sheet or how-to.
