sancus

• Waiting on a file dump to make addons.thunderbird.net work, I've sent out reminder emails, hopefully I'll get some response from mozilla ops this week.
  • The classic site remains available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and they can't remove it until we resolve addons.thunderbird.net so there's no risk to us from these delays.
• In the meantime, started working on a patch to get www.thunderbird.net localizable with gettext
  • This is needed to get us on pontoon.mozilla.org which we will need to operate independently, right now our l10n depends on www.mozilla.org's
• Sent out an email about Meltdown/Spectre issues but this isn't a big server issue for us. It has been for some.
