Supposedly, this is a new and different team that will be taking a grant from the Mozilla Foundation. (I have no idea where these new resources came from, but in the best case scenario, they will appear out of thin air and not slow down work on Thunderbird...)
If it is "from the Makers of Thunderbird", then I think it stands to reason that at least someone on the Thunderbird project spent time on this that they could have spent on that.
These FOSS projects barely have enough resources to complete their primary charter most of the time, so it really grates to see them squander their most limited assets.
