Re: Status of manpages-fr -- help needed?

Hello,
I recently noticed that manpages-fr was removed from testing. I felt sad.
It appeared as if the reason was that the manpages were too outdated.
Hello Helge,
although admiring Debian-l10n work, I'm not a Debian contributor, but we
have the same issue in Fedora (I'm part of Fedora translation teams).
manpages-fr content is quite old, and we discussed this issue in
November 2017.
Baptiste Jammet did a work to move the content to gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/perkamon/man-pages-fr/
As maintaining so many files over time is a huge burden (and follow-up
is difficult), I offered him to connect the repository to the
translation platform Weblate, but for personal reasons, it took me
months to be available to do this.
Anyway, I connected his work with my personal installation of Weblate in
September and it works fine.
Here is the result in Weblate:
https://translate.holcroft.fr/projects/man-pages-fr/#components
Here is one commit in Gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/perkamon/man-pages-fr/commit/43ff6c466c8696db9b3bd7a26b2d10d9f8c0bc16
Note: this is a proof of concept, I did not try to complete any translation.
Once in Weblate, adding a new language should be easy (yes, I think we
should ease language addition over time).
Setting per team process (reviewers roles) is possible.
Free project hosting exists: http://hosted.weblate.org
Issue: it makes one commit per component, and each component is a file
in the repository ==> the first update work will create a lot of commits.
I would love to be able to contribute to the revival of this project and
would be happy to translate if Weblate is used.
I'm 100% sure I won't be able to assume responsibility be a package
maintainer (nor git maintainer).
But I don't feel legitimate to take decisions alone, I would love to see
Baptiste coming back, or having another contributors to speak their minds.
