Considering the huge contribution from translation/documentation
groups, if they are under-represented in the developer group it means
there is a problem.
I don't know, I do know that even though I've been doing
translations for
over 3 years I still haven't bothered with NM as I didn't need the
upload
rights, and didn't care enough about the voting rights.
Ok, so let's consider people who care :)
But another hint for considering that uploading rights and voting
rights have no reason to come as a set.
I strongly suspect the same goes for most non-maintainer translators,
especially since a lot of them don't seem to know that it's
possible to
become a DD without being a maintainer.
That is correct.
Checking the NM pages now I find that:
- the new maintainer corner ([1]) specifically mentions
translations as
acceptible earlier contribution.
- the Tasks and Skills section on [2], is missing a description of
what's
necessary for translators. Same at [3]
That is correct to.
Now, consider a place where the right to vote is given exclusively to
people who contribute in a very specific way that excludes 99% of the
people who actually contribute :)
