I have sent the following email to [e-mail]:

Dear Sanjaya,

Almost three years ago, you requested inclusion of the root certificate of your
Certificate Authority in Mozilla products.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239490

Since that time, we have formalised a CA Certificate policy, detailing how we
process such requests:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ca-certificates/policy.html
We hope that this will bring clarity to the process.

Due to the age of the request, the above mentioned bug report has been closed.
If inclusion of your certificate(s) is still desired, please could you file a
new bug report as specified in section 14 of the policy, including all the
information requested by that clause.

Many thanks,

Gerv
