Hello all team members,

For a long time the robot compared the Last-Translator field of a PO file with the first of the author lines -- the comment lines at the top, after the copyright lines -- and then sometimes muttered about them not being the same. It doesn't do that any more. It now instead compares the Last-Translator field with the _last_ of the author lines, and checks that these mention the same person, and if the names differ mutters something about the correct order for these lines: chronological. At some point in the future it will reject PO files for which this check fails.

Something else. Quite a few translators have not been active for several years now but are still listed on some of the team pages. In the coming week I will go through these lists and remove everyone who hasn't submitted a PO file in over five years. During a second run next week the limit will be dropped to three years. Does this seem reasonable, or would you want to draw the line somewhere else? (There needs to be a limit of some kind, or otherwise some of these team lists would grow indefinitely.)

Regards,

Benno
