Comment(by pde):

 We'd be happy to take patches to implement this.  One thing that will make
 implementation tricky is that our .xpi files no longer contain the
 original rulesets in their source form.  In order to keep the .xpi file
 smaller, they're piled into default.rulesets, and they have comments
 stripped out at build time.

 So an implementation could attempt to reconstruct the human-legible XML.
 But it might actually be better to obtain the ruleset from a cleverly
 constructed URL at gitweb.torproject.org that fetches the version of the
 file from the current build's tag.
