You mean DTN? I've tried to get developer's involved to review the content and ensure it is up-to-date. I will discuss this with Magnus today and see if we can get this task on a staff member's plate to check on these things regularly.

I used what Magnus recommended putting there. But this could be something different. What do you think is most useful?
> - Why are you only mentioning hg bookmarks. Some people use hg queues, so IMHO it should at least be mentioned.
I've had some folks point out that hg queues is deprecated and probably not a good thing to encourage. We do have a full section dedicated to Queues on DTN -> https://developer.thunderbird.net/contributing/fixing-a-bug/using-mercurial-queues

I'm open to feedback. So far I've had a hard time getting any attention to this README. Happy to get feedback.
