Please create a tor-messenger.git repo
To maintain a fork of https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr45/ similar to tor-browser.git
We've got a number of patches which are becoming unwieldy, https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-messenger-build.git/tree/projects/instantbird
Most likely, Mozilla will handle the hg => git sync in, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309045
but otherwise, I'll do it. Thanks!
Oh, and please grants access to the tormessenger group.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
