1993524 - Add an experimental opinionated state management solution

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, task)

Description

[Martin Giger [:freaktechnik]]

To simplify implementation of new front-end code I'd like to introduce an experimental state management solution that is meant to simplify implementation of new UI for developers. I'll provide initial patches to add the solution (Redux), as well as documentation, an ADR and an example usage not intended to be landed.

Deciding to land the ADR on this even though it's missed the milestone of the rest of the stack, since it is purely a documentation change and as such the milestone it lands is much less relevant for release management.
