Not really. If a maintainer cares, he uses the debian-i18n mailing list,
having tagged his mail appropriately.

This would make more sense, definitely.

I'm just a little bit angry about this inconsistence. I've made some
proposals in debian-boot and -i18n about the l10n infrastructure, they
were not really good, but any desire to mail the maintainers or make them
use one more script while packaging has been stopped with an argument "No,
we can't really make maintainers do that, they shouldn't get more mails
than they do already", etc. I do not really see a reason why the
translators should be cared of less than the maintainers.
