Here's some more from the Persona team. They've all been re-assigned and
Persona will go into maintenance mode. It's not being decommissioned,
but Mozilla is no longer putting paid engineers behind future development:

This decision impacts this community and the work we're doing here. I've
reached out to Dan Callahan and offered our thanks for their work on
Persona. It's not the end of the project, but Mozilla is not going to be
pushing it further than it has to date. We needed new features added to
Persona, but that work is going to have to come from the Persona or Web
Payments community. We'll wait for the dust to settle and figure out a
plan going forward for a login solution for Web Payments.

Until then, we'll wait for Dan and the rest of the ex-Persona team to
publish their blog post on the current status and future of the
Persona project.
