Maybe it would be a good idea to rephrase this mail and to explicitely ask for translations? Something as: "Translators, as the debconf templates of the package XXX were revised it is a good idea to update current translations and to provide new ones. Current status:" To be honest I miss some individual touch in most mails. I tend to ignore more and more of automatically created mails. I also read these mails in mutt in a 80x24 terminal. If I do not see something of interest for me in the first 24 lines of such automatically mails I skip it.
