If someone actually does write, they should record what they did and any
response in the Mozilla Evangelism bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277023
Those who find other major sites that reject Gecko browsers are free to
look for existing Evangelism bugs for those sites on
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi, and file new ones if they fail
to find any. Instructions are on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/site/procedures.html#file-new
which includes template language for writing webmasters.
