Besides that Martin, do you have any other input which might help us decide whether to move Mailman into the TP or not?
Speaking as a translator with experience at the TP and as module maintainer (for mailutils and nano at the TP), I think moving to the TP is a good idea, but having in mind one of the biggest drawbacks:
The TP works with translations "post-release". This means: if nano 1.2.3 is released and it contains 3 new strings, the POT will be sent to the TP after the release, and the translators will feed translations with the 3 new strings added, but these changes will be included in 1.2.4. In short, the TP, many times, works one step behind the upstream releases.
Of course, this can be easily solved sending a 1.2.3-pre1 tarball to the TP a week or so before the release, so translators can have a bit of time to update their translatiosn before the release. Not every module in the TP does that, though.
Good to know! I already try to update the .po files before a point release and long before a final release. I can definitely keep up this tradition. -Barry
