The Thunderbird email-client project has put out a
report describing its financial situation in 2022.

The breakout growth we enjoyed last year means hiring even more
talented people to vastly improve the Thunderbird desktop
experience. This past year we expended significant effort to
dramatically improve Thunderbird’s UX and bring it in-line with
modern expectations and standards. In 2022 we also laid the
groundwork for large architectural changes for Thunderbird on the
desktop. These changes address many years of technical debt that
has limited our ability to add new features at a brisk pace. This
work will largely pay off in our 2024 release, however it does
power some of the improvements in the 115 “Supernova” release this
summer.
