Mozilla is on Open Source project. If you don't like the way something is
done, you have lots of choices. You can complain; you can step up and put
in the time it takes to get it fixed or you can just ignore it.

>Steve Wendt's page has nothing on these missing versions.

Hardly. As you noted, his site lists the current milestone version
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.8a3/contrib/mozilla-os2-1.8a3-installer.exe>

and if you look carefully at the link and read between the lines of Gary's
slightly misworded guidance, you would already know where to find the
other versions.

Bad Gary. :-)

You looked at some of the available downloads.

When IBM stopped supplying paid programmers for the OS/2 port, the OS/2
port reverted to being a contributed port rather than a Mozilla supported
port. That's why v1.8a3 is in the contrib subdirectory along with all the
other contributed ports.
