I'm sorry if it's been too short. The 3 day gap comes from a template; we
find if all the delays are stretched out the whole process becomes even
longer (from initial intent to review to folding the final translations in).

I thought I'd kept you in CC during the review process, apologies if you
didn't get the mails.

I'm afraid I didn't have that message (maybe you discussed this with
Christian somewhere?)

It's no problem to me if you're happy to handle the translations. Part of
the deal offerred to maintainers whose packages are reviewed is that we
also co-ordinate collecting and checking the translations, since often we
initiated the work in the first place :) But this is slightly different in
that you requested a review yourself.

I will make some suggestions for these and ask for opinions on
debian-l10n-english again, and keep you in CC. In the meantime I'll ask
translators to halt for now while we sort these out.

Hmm, if you'd prefer "from similar solutions" or something similar that's
entirely up to you :)
