You are welcome. Thanks for handling them this quickly.
I'm only citing parts where necessary, not those where no question or
disagreement is raised. Where applicable, I denote that in our
translated files so the translators in question are aware of your
rationales.

This is a nit pick by some translators. I suggest to ignore this
particular issue (I personally don't share their views anymore), I
will mark it WONTFIX in our files.

As stated in the introductory text that's unfortunatly not possible.
manpages-l10n has over 100 upstreams an we do not have the man power
to provide full diffs, sorry. (And sometimes we only see that's
something is strange, but do not know how it should be).
However, do not hesitate to ask in any unclear case (when I have not
been precise enough, despite best efforts). If in doubt I'll double
check with the original translator as well.

I'm fine if you put my name in there. If possible it would be fair if
you could denote (in a comment of commit message) that the input came
from several members of the manpage-l10n translation community.
