Hi again Christian, hi others, I've received this message, and it seems to be automatically crafted; I'd like to suggest some improvements if these are going to happen frequently.

I'm afraid I didn't get this notice, nor did the bug do. I'm only maintaining gnome-applets via the PTS subscription, so if you mailed the Maintainer: directly, this isn't enough. I think mailing the @packages.debian.org would have reached me, but I'm not 100% sure anymore now. > I announced the intent to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload > for this package in order to fix this long-time pending localization > bug as well as all other pending translations. I'm sorry these had to wait for so long. It's been a while since I last was able to walk through all GNOME packages looking for patches or forwarding bugs. > The package maintainer did not respond in a week so I will proceed with the > NMU. This sounds like it's missing the actual upload date. You might want to reference the upload plan which you include below. > The package is currently translated to: cs da de es fr ja lt nl pt pt_BR ru > sv vi > The following translations are incomplete: <none> > (even after applying pending l10n bugs, of course) The above sounds weird. Looks like a bug to say that "The following translations are incomplete: <none>" and another bug to comment that this is even "after applying pending l10n bugs". > If you did any of the, currently incomplete, translations you will get a > copy of this announcement BCCd to you.
