[Mailman-i18n] German Localization

[mta_enigma]

 Hello,
 It shouldn't be a completely new translation, only an improvement (in 
 our opinion).
 In the current version, there are not-translated segments, false 
 translations, mistakes in grammar and orthography and maybe mistakes in 
 the consistency.
 Our work will include a lot of quality assurance and an increasement of 
 the accessability...the second part is more important...a little 
 example:
 No one here (neither me) has known, what "bounce processing" is (its 
 actually translated with "Bounce-Erkennung"). Now, i know what it 
 is...but i had to read in wikipedia. You know what i mean? We think, its 
 possible to found everytime a term in the target language to explain for 
 everyone, whats exactly meant.
