I agree with your analysis. I'm not stingy with handing out access to the X Strike Force Subversion repositories. Just ask the dozen or so people who have access (most of whom don't use it for anything -- sigh). I invite those who are frustrated with i18n/l10n issues in XFree86 to step forward and take some ownership. Deadkeys busted on French keyboards, for example? Step up. Volunteers are welcome. I do expect people to be able to work within the framework I've set up (commit disruptive stuff on a branch, write reasonable commit logs, and so forth) -- this isn't an invitation to take total control over some chunk of XFree86. The reason for that is, someone still has to take responsibility for the package as a whole, and the bug reports that get filed against it, and that someone is (still) me. But you'll have a pretty free hand to experiment; we can create a branch just for i18n/l10n improvements if need be, and that way changes there can't disrupt the trunk or 4.3.0-sid branch. -- G.
