Nothing stopping you starting to port it Hal! :)

This release is also a milestone release and marks the beginning of
the new governance model for Thunderbird. As mentioned in Mitchell’s
blog post back in July, “Mozilla is focusing its efforts towards
important web and mobile projects, such as Firefox OS, while
Thunderbird remains a pure desktop-only email client.” Therefore, we
proposed “to adapt the Thunderbird release and governance model in a
way that allow both on-going security and stability maintenance, as
well as community-driven innovation and development for the product.”.

Have a read of:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/New_Release_and_Governance_Model

In a nutshell, Mozilla are saying we'll keep Thunderbird rolling,
patching security holes and the like but if you want new features or
now platforms, it's up to the community.
