Thanks Andrea, sounds great to me! Just to be clear, this module governs the code aspects of anti-tracking features in Firefox. Anti-tracking features also have a policy side for example when it comes to issues such as which features we want to implement and ship in Firefox at which times, and the engineering team will work with Mozilla's Product and Policy teams on those aspects as we have in the past. This module creation proposal covers the code governance not the policy governance aspects.
