Re: gwhois 20100515+nmu1: Please update debconf PO translation for the package gwhois

[Martin Eberhard Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>]

Hi,

there are some maintainers providing debconf translations for their 
mother tongue.

There are pros like lower workload for the language teams and cons like 
missing reviews
and possible inconsistent debconf translations. I don't want to start a 
discussion on the
preferable approach.

What  about adding a comment in the header like
"# My name is Max Mustermann. I am the current maintainer of this 
package. I am a native
# speaker of <language> and provide the debconf translations for 
<language>."?

Christian may continue nagging ( :-) ) translators and maintainers, 
translation team members
can avoid duplicate efforts and maintainers are informed, when 
"somebody" recommends
an i18n upload.

Cheers
  Martin
