I take translations quite seriously. As does anyone I know who works on this
kind of subject. There's more involved than 'simple translation'.

I am not sure how you intended this, but the way you formulated this is
sounds as if I only had a certain right while this was in the branch. And
the way you proceeded did not give me the feeling of joining, but rather
putting down your view as the only way forward.

And TracL10N reflects your opinion on the workflow despite my objections.
I totally do not agree with your stance that people should have to run Trac
to contribute translations. And you have shown that you are not aware how
translations in open source projects get handled, which is quite ok, but
then I am baffled why you put forth your own idea.

I am fully aware, but at the same time the amount of commits I've still been
making would have been quite a clear indicator that I was working on that
all. Furthermore, I've said I'd look into it.

I wrote my email without any anger and just stated it as I saw things.

Are you trying to say that because you put in effort to 'dare moving
things forward' your opinion is worth more than someone else's?
I am definitely not disputing your massive involvement, especially compared
to mine, and quite frankly it has been one of the reasons why I have not
been actively vocal. Given my contributions, who am I to complain? And
that's a situation I am uncomfortable with especially when objections
seemingly are being overturned. And when that happens I'll just divert my
energy and attention elsewhere since my involvement will not matter anyway.
