language teams mailing list problems



I've had two bounces from using --language-team with
podebconf-report-po, both because the "list" used by the language team
is subscriber only.

Your mail to 'Ubuntu-l10n-tam' with the subject

    emdebian-tools 0.9.4: Please update debconf PO translation for the
package emdebian-tools

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

 You do not have permission to post to group smc-discuss. You may need
to 
join the group before being allowed to post, or this group may not be
open to 
posting. 

 Visit http://groups.google.com/group/smc-discuss/about?hl=ml to join or
learn more about
who is allowed to post to the group. 

(for ml.po)

Seems a bit daft to me. I know spam is a problem but translators cannot
expect everyone to subscribe to their language team mailing list just to
request new translations, no matter for how short a period. Moderated
lists are little better - I've no idea how much of the deadline will be
taken up in the moderator queue.

Christian: can these language teams be requested not to use
subscriber-only language team mailing lists?

(Then this email got redirected due to the previous subject line, I
ended up sending it twice and I have no idea how many may or may not
turn up on this list. Who said email was easy?!!)
