So, should we mail everybody who selected a female shirt size asking
them to select the _right_ male shirt size?

We should. Obviously that would mean that we can't order the t-shirts before we have some more accurate info on sizes.

Right, AFAICT usually female sizes are equivalent to one step smaller
male size - i.e. female size M means male size S. But if they can
confirm it, much better.

Right. Well, as we have offered (I don't remember if it has had any
real impact) on previous years... we must keep by our deadlines. So,
if government does not confirm in time, we can still have them as a
platinum sponsor if they so wish, but what's already printed is
already printed, and we cannot do anything about it. And we cannot
risk not getting the shirts in time waiting for the sponsor.

Now, what we _can_ do is to ask the printing workshop to start doing
the front side. It should be enough work to keep them busy for some
days. And only once they are close to finish, give them the final back
print (sponsors' logos). The back side is much easier/quicker to
print.
