I think it is excellent that you have an interest in the software, the skillset, and a willingness contribute to its development. In addition to this list you might try contacting several of the mailing lists involved with the development of Mozilla projects. https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo Don't give up on this list. Developers do keep track of the traffic here, but it may not be their main focus. Also, given the year-end holidays, it may take a while for you to get the response you are looking for.
