Agreed! But an external status site (which I would ignore) would have
the same affect.

Maybe it would be a good idea to rephrase this mail and to explicitely
ask for translations?
Something as:
"Translators, as the debconf templates of the package XXX were revised it
is a good idea to update current translations and to provide new ones.
Current status:"
To be honest I miss some individual touch in most mails. I tend to
ignore more and more of automatically created mails.
I also read these mails in mutt in a 80x24 terminal. If I do not see
something of interest for me in the first 24 lines of such
automatically mails I skip it. This happens regularly ...

I do not remember his mail ...
