Nope (to your first question). We don't have a real i18n crew yet. It might
be a good idea for form one; we do have good support for i18n generally
(package maintainers are using the LINGUAS and the documentation has
references to locales and such) but an expertise group can probably improve
the distribution (for instance by adding the necessary man-pages-${LANG}
ebuilds, etc.).

I'm not in favor of having a non-English official bugzilla. Tooooo much
resources to put in it; I'd rather use translation teams to continuously
keep translating interesting stuff, like documentation but also help with
the localisation of Portage if that ever comes this far.
Translating bugs is such a waist of resources...
