I don't mind a NL credits page. That is fine. But I don't like the idea of steering volunteers away from community mailing lists.
We should take the habit of setting up a community mailing list for any language. So, [email protected] for Lithuanian, and so on. We tend to avoid creation of "potentially useless" mailing lists, but this is the same problem as vanishing volunteers.
So: it's OK for me to insist on an "official" contact that is an Apache mailing list. But then we should immediately create one the moment we get a new volunteer for a language. Putting an obstacle like "we want to be sure that this mailing list will be used" is too much and will reiterate the same problems Aivaras wants to solve.
Mailing lists can be monitored much better than individual accounts, and we can check operations more easily. For example, when a new volunteer for Croatian joins, I could direct her to [email protected] and be sure that relevant people read her message.
