But what about tagging all such bugs 'l10n' ? I'm very pleased of the idea
of large NMU l10n bug squashing party when near to release.
It would be a really good thing.
Pro:
- Easier for translator to search out if a translation is already done or not
- Nativ speaker could search such bug, and review the translation, so that
the maintainer could be sure that the patch is a good patch.
- When a release comes, it's easier to search out which package need a l10n
NMU.
Cons:
- Not sure how to ask for a new patch in the BTS.
Thanks, Mt.
