Add CCA ROOT CA India

This case is a request by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) of India to include the CCA ROOT CA in Mozilla's root store. The thread discusses the India PKI hierarchy, the CCA's role as trust anchor, and the policies and audit criteria the CCA says apply to its licensed CAs. Mozilla explained that the earlier request was closed because CCA India is treated as a super-CA, meaning its first-level subordinate CAs must apply for inclusion individually before the root can be reconsidered. In 2020, the CCA said it had instructed all intermediate CAs to independently approach Mozilla for enrollment, and Mozilla later said the case had become substantially outdated. The current bug status is RESOLVED with WONTFIX, and Mozilla stated that any future pursuit should be made as a new request with current documentation.
