Let's call this constructive feedback :-)

I'm sorry, I assumed that to be the "usual" workflow.

Let me mumble (back) a bit ;-)

I suppose the reason I assumed to upload before considering translations
was that it de-couples the two processes a bit. Imho this would be a
nice feature in a volunteer-driven project as it removes delay. Also, we
will be back to 100% within a few days -- I suppose at about the same
time as the upload would have happened else.

This is just my two cents. If you prefer it the other way around, I can
perfectly live with that as debconf changes will probably happen rarely
in my case after all ;-)

Sorry for that … that just happened to be a bad coincidence in your and
my workflows.

Thanks for taking care of that. I just noticed that podebconf-report-po
--mutt just left the E-mails in my Drafts folder *whistle*

Cheers,
