At the moment it's really just Jono working full time on this, and terrence and other people reviewing. This stuff is actually quite easy and you can expect really fast review times from our side.
In some parts of the code rooting could literally just mean to replace JS::Value to JS::RootedValue and fixing the references to the variable. It's really easy once you did it a few times. Here is a list of all files that still have rooting problems: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2340241 And the details for each and every problem: https://people.mozilla.com/~sfink/analysis/browser/rootingHazards.txt We are using https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831379 to track the rooting progress, make sure to file every bug as blocking this one. I would appreciate if every module peer or owner would just take a look at his/her module and tried to fix some of the issue. If you are unsure or need help, ask us on #jsapi.
