I'm sorry to forward some very sad news about one of our own from the Mailman community. If you've ever looked at the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file you will see this entry in the core contributors section:
Tokio Kikuchi, Mailman's weatherman
Tokio Kikuchi was instrumental in our early internationalization efforts. I
remember testing out one of his early patches which enabled Japanese support
in Mailman. At a Python conference years ago, I started the branch and was
delighted to see the familiar Mailman admin pages come up in Japanese. Of
course, I could not read it, but I happened to be sitting next to a native
speaker who confirmed that it was indeed correct Japanese. That made me very
happy, and I'm proud of his ongoing contributions to Mailman in general and
internationalization in particular. He will be missed.
