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Some (German, at least) translators, who are no longer active, used rather strange lists in the "Language-Team:" entry in po files.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").
