I am not sure what point you are trying to make ?

Could you make a short summary ?

About the specific item you mention above (develop a strategy to  
"deal" with translators), I think that is _specifically_ what non  
package maintaining contributors want: to be "dealt" with.

As for the buzz before election times, well, that's what election  
times are for: create buzz. I don't see any problem with that.
