Hi Henning, so if a translator will commit to 'maintaing' a particular package translation, would that be a demonstration of the same commitment to the 'project' like software package maintaing and could then lead to him/her being a DD? Maybe make the translations be in a seperate package so that they can have names associated to them and lead to the translator being 'responsble' to our users and maintain a real packages?
