The point is keeping maintainers aware of all steps of the process so that they can comment at any point. Of course, mails are long but one cannot know when a maintainer sees this for the first time or not. About putting most informations on a wiki page, I'm probably too old-minded: I work mostly by mail, being offline very often....so I dislike when information is only available online... > with patch when done. instead, i get a dozen of long mails about it > which i've no real interest to read. instead of sending the mails, can't > you just put the things in e.g. a wiki page, so that interested people > can read about it and the others are left undisturbed/not-confused. > > >> * Improving overly complicated German debconf translation. > > > > Is the german l10n team aware of this ? > > no, don't they get that automatically anyway? The translator will be notified if he really pays attention, but that's all. In general, I recommend discussing about changes in translations even when maintainers are speakers of a given language as the really authoritative source should remain the l10n team (overall consistency in translations and such things).
