Hello, first of all, thanks for working on DDTS. It is very much appreciated. Given my (nowadays) involvment[1] in Package Translations is almost nonexistent, I've one comment to make:

This is IMHO a very major change. The previous system easily allowed
working with translations the same way as with e.g. bug reports, by
simply using e-mail. Whenever I update a package description of mine
(though this happens rarely) I can simply go to my ddts folder, pick
out the right syntax, fire away two e-mails (one for grabbing, one for
sending) and I'm done (and I've the record in my sent-box).
Also this allows in principle to track down users, as each user has to
supply a working e-mail-address. This would help discussing translations
teams coordinating with learning translators.

Having said this, I would strongly confirm that the fixing process is
very well appreciated and if e-mail-support is blocking process too
much, well, then it is probably not worth for an old timer like me to
draw too much ressources into it, especially since there seems an
active German team using the web front end already.
Thanks for taking care!!!
Greetings
Helge
[1] In the early days I was translating there quite a bit, but this
slowed down after the break in a lot and then I concentrated on other
translation areas, especially since the review system for the e-mail
system was never ressourected (which IMHO was also quite nice).
