We could certainly use an additional Pootle admin.
As long as we're talking about Pootle, I have a weird request. Our
"base" for translations in "en" -- I presume en-US --
and this doesn't show up in the language list for UI or Help content.
So, I can't accurately judge what the real progress is against it.
As silly as it might sound, can en-US with its character counts for UI
and Help Content be displayed?
