On the mozilla-accessibility at mozilla.org list.  I see posts from your
group announcing new releases, but not much else.  There is one guy who
handles most of the questions on the list, but he doesn't work for you,
and doesn't seem to have much input in your process.

I've had recent email problems, so I might have been unsubscribed, but I
subscribed to the mozilla-accessibility list the first time I read about
it just after it was created.
