OOo suffers from having _too_ many mailing lists. The last time I counted, there were over a hundred mailing lists. As a result, requests for the things you mention can be scattered over all of them.

little or no discussion of l10n bugs and the continual effort to fix them.

That is due to one of several things:
* They are discussed and (maybe) fixed on a specific list of the NLP that is affected by the specific bug;
* They are discussed on one of the specific developer lists;
* They are discussed in issuezilla;
* They are ignored;
* The gatekeepers for Issuezilla don't have a clue about history, geography, writing systems, languages, or anthropology, and hence close issues because of their ignorance in those subjects;

but we don't seem to be talking to each other very much.

Historically, every time a slightly different aspect of project management has come up, a new list has been created for it. Which means that the only communication that happens, is between people who are subscribed to the same list. If people aren't subscribed to a list, they have lost the ability to even marginally track what is going elsewhere in the project.
