Hi Vincent,

I'm willing to help, as much as my bandwith allows :)

 There's now a better way which is to add an object of type
XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass

repo on https://github.com/organizations/xwiki-contrib (there should be a
Source button on the app page on extensions.xwiki.org too). If not, then
let me know by answering this email and I'll create it for you and give you
access so that you can make changes there. FYI the full process is
documented at http://contrib.xwiki.org and I can help you with that.

To be clear, does that mean that you take care of creating the repo AND
populating it with original sources, or that we should do it ?
Shouldn't this be done by or with authorization from the original extension
author ?

I would add that ideally extensions should be published to a maven repo (so
others can depend on them), but maybe that's too much for the cleaning
activity you propose... (and could be considered in a second step for a set
of extensions)
