Please don't lecture me on the proper use of English. I used should and
I meant should. Even using the restrictive definitions from rfc2119 I
feel that should is the proper word. Translators may have
a valid reason for not subscribing to debian-www.

Personally, I don't see the point of stating something must be done when
there is no enforcement, but I could go along with it in the case of
translation coordinators.

I have added the following sentence to english/devel/website/index.wml:
Translation coordinators <strong>MUST</strong> subscribe.
