Hi Javier,
thanks for your work.

I do not like such usage of "Debian Internationalisation team". I have
seen this more and more often in the last time (also for other teams)
and it sounds elitist to me.
How to become a member? What contract do I have to sign? How often do I
have to meet members in real life?
Just use:
"On behalf of all the people interested in internationalisation in Debian"
"On behalf of the debian-i18n@lists.debian.org" list"

Skip po-debconf. It's also valid for upstream translations which should
be forwarded to upstream. As long as these are ignored upstream they should be
added the the Debian package.

A stupid question but do we need to contact debian-release first?
Otherwise they could be confronted with really many requests.
On the other side release managers could add additional rules if this
happens.

This page needs a long time (several minutes) until it is displayed.
Maybe add also a mirrored file?

Again: "so they are most probably po-debconf translations" is wrong.
Use: "follow the [INTL:xx] format and are waiting for inclusion"

Is "ve+rsion" correct or remaining from a copy and paste operation via
mutt? I doubt that "+" is valid.
Maybe a (via crontab?) generated version on an simple external HTML page
would be useful.
