Hi Guillaume, |
| 6 |
bug 148788 [1] was filled two days ago. The simple fact the we haven't |
| 7 |
yet responded to you doesn't mean that we don't appreciate your work, |
| 8 |
nor that we're going to ignore you. It's just a side effect of us having |
| 9 |
the Real Life (tm), Real Job (tm) (which usually pays slightly better |
| 10 |
than Gentoo :) ) and Plenty of Other Stuff to Do (tm). |
| 11 |

As I'm a translator, I know what I'm talking about when I say that |
| 13 |
processing user-contributed translations takes considerable amount of |
| 14 |
time. Lead Translator is responsible for correctness and accuracy of all |
| 15 |
the translations. That means that he has to go through your work, |
| 16 |
correct all the possible mistakes, fix your style et cetera. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
When the bug enters the Bugzilla, we're notified about it. We won't |
| 19 |
ignore it and we'll eventually fix it. No need to send mail reminders, |
| 20 |
ping us on IRC etc. We know what our bugs are and we do our best to |
| 21 |
handle them as soon as possible. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you want to get things fixed quicker, you can try to motivate us. |
| 24 |
Either offer some money (you know, we all have to eat) or just don't |
| 25 |
remind us via the mail. We'll be happier and your bug will get fixed |
| 26 |
several days earlier. |
| 27 |
|

Cheers, |
