> On May 9, 2017, Philipp Kewisch announced that the Mozilla Foundation will continue to serve as the legal and fiscal home for the Thunderbird project, but that Thunderbird will migrate off Mozilla Corporation infrastructure, separating the operational aspects of the project.

I also understand that the Thunderbird team is super small, as well. As an outsider, I guess I just don't understand how they are separate :)
