Bugzilla
We use the "Testing/Mozmill" component on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org to track bugs and enhancements for mozmill. One thing we do a bit differently is use the whiteboard as a means of triaging bugs. Use the following whiteboard flags when submitting/triaging bugs (assuming mozmill 2.0 is the current version under development):
- [mozmill-2.0?] - candidate for 2.0
- [mozmill-next?] - candidate for some unspecified future version
- [mozmill-2.0+] - accepted for 2.0
- [mozmill-2.0-] - rejected for 2.0
There is a shared search called Mozmill 2.0 which you can use to view candidate bugs. You can also use keyword bookmarks (assuming you are using Firefox):
- Bookmark this awful url: http://pastebin.com/xxXNJM2Z
- Edit the bookmark and add a keyword of your choice (i.e mozmill)
- Type 'mozmill 2.0' or 'mozmill 2.2' etc. into the location bar

Modules
Mozmill is composed of several python packages (Mozmill, Mozrunner, Mozprofile, Mozproces, JSBridge, etc) as well as applicationextensions. While we all work together to create a coherent product, the conceptual components each have a maintainer who is the point-person for that part of Mozmill:
Mozmill 2.0
The next major release will be Mozmill 2.0 which will hopefully be released by end of Q2 2012. For more information see the details on the milestone page.
JSON Wire Protocol
There is explorative work to get Mozmill to operate with a JSON wire protocol
