That's not true, if the lawyers wanted to set up a pathway for that then it could happen via various legal entities and hoops. Mozilla doesn't want the community to have that much say and they don't want to lose that much control and be dependent on users. The problem is they keep losing share of the market. I'm not sure how they can fix that since google is always a little bit ahead because they essentially dictate which way internet technology goes these days because they control 80% of the browsers out there via chrome.
