Package: po-debconf Version: 1.0.8 Severity: wishlist Currently the SMITH project uses "podebconf-report-po" to request updated translations after review. For this, the "relevant" language team is contacted via CC:
Some (German, at least) translators, who are no longer active, used
rather strange lists in the "Language-Team:" entry in po files. So the
call goes to the inactive (i.e. not responding) translator and to some
odd list. The German team knows about "inactive" translators, so if
debian-l10n-german is informed, someone else would pick up the
translation and hand it in. But since some odd list is contacted, the
translation is not updated (nobody knows about it).
What I would like is the possibility to add "default" CC:s to
podebconf-report-po. So, if a German translation is processed, always
add an CC: to debian-l10n-german, independently what else
Language-Team: might point to. (This should be configurable by a
command line flag, of course).
In principle, you know the language by the file name, so in the config
file for "podebconf-report-po" there could be an assignement, e.g.
defaultCC de debian-l10n-german
defaultCC fr debian-l10n-french
and so on.
Is this something you could implement? I know some basic perl, so I
could try to hack on it and provide you with a patch, if you want, but
I'd be glad if I don't need to (but I respect "show me the code").
Thanks
Helge
