We don't reject Jeremy, he is warmly welcome to work with and in our 
community (as stated before). Pale Moon is what we rejected. Not only 
from the reason you concentrate your reply around, but also from the 
other reason - we are a small community and we need to focus our efforts 
in a certain way, that's why we e.g. don't have desktop environments 
other than MATE.

It may have played out differently if Jeremy talked to us about possible 
Pale Moon integration months ago when he started the work, because the 
position of at least one of our developers was clear back then and is on 
record at
