tldr; more of what everyone else is saying, review is valid, indictment of mozilla's policy as "hostile to open source" is hasty
"we don't like mozilla's review process" != "mozilla's policy is hostile to open source".
I think this blog post was made in frustration, and he's not the first or the last person that will do so. While I can agree it took too long for the review to come back (rejected at that), as others have said, the review is solid, and Mozilla is stretched thin just like any other open source project/non profit.
If it's transparency ("it's not our fault") that you want, why not put up a quick status page/alert for people? You could even expand that to a status page for all the ongoing ember projects (plugins, new versions of ember), and have a state that is clearly marked "being reviewed by firefox team" and the appropriate version that was ready for release.
Also, maybe point some of the users that are complaining about slow firefox plugin updates to the review helping link mentioned in the comments:
