I think he means a few things by this, or at least we have a few tasks
underway:
- mentor (me) reviewing code quality and implementation choices for how
proxy features were added
- inspection of esr45 Android Java code for new network code and other
potentially leaky / deanon features
- review of tor browser, noscript and other mobile relevant extensions
for portability to android

We use NoRoot firewall on Android for doing this in a quick manner. It
is like LittleSnitch.

Thanks for the feedback Tom!
