I don't really have inside knowledge, but I think if the opportunity comes to graduate a project to external management and resourcing the Mozilla Foundation is probably going to take it. Quite a few projects are managed by Mozilla Foundation but receive very substantive external funding, and I think that was the case for Coral. That grant-based funding is often time limited and requires a bunch of hustling, so having a long-term committed sponsor would be attractive.
