It could equally apply for all tbl packages.

Indeed.

I don't remember whether it's been communicated clearly to the Tor
Browser developers and the tpo sysadmins what exactly they should
communicate about. (Again, I may be forgetting a discussion that has
already happened, sorry if that's the case.)

Note that most of the Tor Browser development discussions happen on
Trac, rather than on mailing-lists. E.g. for some of the recent
changes:

  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13960
  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14213

Yes. Now, just like Holger, I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

Cheers!
