Jacobo, I don't think this is exactly the right way to handle this. And, unless things have been told and written elsewhere, evrythign that was written here expressed the respect of involved parties for your work. So I have not seen that "ppl would work for Galician only if it weren't for you". (this probably comes from disputes I'm not aware of) You can obviously read from the thread in -i18n all the respect that's due to your work, and please trust me to enforce such respect. What's implicitely suggested is: now that a ML has been setup and possible new contributors are coming, efforts to involve them should happen. And efforts from the interested people to involve themselves and work with the existing Debian Galician l10n community (aka "you") should also happen. By experience, this is not that much and this is worth it. Really. That could be basically using the d-l-galician more widely to at least coordinate who works on what. You will need to do that anyway so that other Galician translators need to know that you maintain this or that part of your past work. Other people will need to do that anyway for the exact same reasons. I understand this might change your work methods and might even complicate them. That's probably a minimal price to pay to keep the community active and alive.
