Alright. Here's waiting. We previously stated that all translation
project maintainers at least should be members of QAC. I don't mind if
QAC membership is only 4 or 5, or over a thousand, just as long as the
select few translation veterans are always there.

And no, we definitely can't overlook Ossama :-)

Aye! And I thought I had a bad memory! hehe. No the script does have a
few bugs. It eats up parts of the output po file almost randomly, and
the file would just gradually keep decreasing in size. But no matter,
this is still VERY early days, and we can afford to delay this topic a
bit.
