There's a dead comment that seems pretty revealing in terms of the review process:

    I’m an extension reviewer at adding.mozilla.org. Extensions that request certain permissions are manually reviewed. Others are automatically approved. Recommend extensions are ALWAYS manually reviewed for each update.

I'm curious what the _manual review_ process looks like. There are so many questions that come to mind: Is it a single person or multiple individuals reviewing the extension? Does it require the reviewer to be familiar with the code base of the extension? Wouldn't that be a significant burden, or are these reviews cursory? Do the reviews take 10 minutes? 30 minutes? days? Is the review documented? Can the review be public? Do they review the source code on github/gitlab/etc or are they reviewing the submitted file(s)?
