All reviewers are subscribed to an internal mailing list. On this list we discuss add-on reviews and review policies. If you have questions about a review, you can ask them there. Queue status and reviewer contribution reports are sent weekly. Only members of the list can send messages to it, so it has fairly low activity.

Finally, we encourage you to join the [https://mozillians.org/ Mozillians directory]. If you're a reviewer, you can ask on the mailing list or IRC for someone to invite you and vouch for you. Adding the 'addon-reviewers' tag to your account should make you visible on our [https://mozillians.org/en-US/group/addon-reviewers/ Mozillians group].

Unfortunately, there are times when we have to remove reviewers from this group because of severe and/or frequent violations of reviewing guidelines. Reviewers will receive a warning if they are close to being put on probation. In probation, an admin will spot-check a reviewer’s activity for six and remove them from the group if they continue making severe mistakes. If the reviewer improves, they will remain in the group conditionally, provided they do not revert to making errors.
Volunteer reviewers represent Mozilla in their decisions and interactions with add-on developers, so establishing and enforcing review standards is essential to a good developer experience and user safety.


Here are the types of mistakes we track and their corresponding severity:
Admin reviewers perform regular spot checks of reviews. During these checks, they might find mistakes in review decisions. Here are the types of mistakes we track and their corresponding severity:

If multiple severe and/or frequent mistakes are found, reviewers will receive a notification that they have been put on probation. In probation, an admin will spot-check a reviewer’s activity for six months and remove them from the group if they make one more severe mistake. If the reviewer improves, they will remain in the group conditionally, provided they do not revert to making errors.


Removal of reviewing rights is rare and done only when we feel users may experience a security risk, developers are having a poor experience, or the contributions are causing a drain on resources. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us in one of the ways listed above.
