If I could speak any of those languages I would be contributing code to

Ah, but you see -- I don't /want/ the tool to be US centric. I simply
lack the skills to improve SpamAssassin when it comes to supporting
non-English speaking users.
Now, if something in German, for example, hit my SPAM-box I would have a
shot at adding a rule for that...
Don't mistake a lack of contributions in the area for a lack of
/interest/ in the area.
