Hi again,
For Lewis, I'll give the +1. Just one comment, though:

My Request
As you'll see in the logs below, I'm basicly interested at this point
in time in maintaining the non-WMF family files in the SVN,
This would be nice. However, I'd like to see a cleanup of unnecessary family
files - now we have got generate_family_file.py, I think a lot of files are
no longer necessary.
and
working on the i18n translation that I hear you guys
are planning to
work on rather soon. As a member of the
translatewiki.net staff, and
an active user of pywikipediabot, I think it'd be nice to help out
there.
Of course siebrand and roberthl already are contacts, but more help is
always welcome :-)
Now, as a last comment:

Any objections to granting access for this person?
https://sourceforge.net/users/ebraminio The translation patches are OK, but this
one most certainly is not: this
patch<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=93107&at…
changes
the license from GPL to MIT (!) without checking with the original
author(s). Besides, there is no comment on what this actual change does ('hi,
this a patch for providing support of links contains unicode character.I am
used it and working well for me.') only decribes the end effect, not the
reason it works. Especially when working with Unicode<->utf-8 translations,
this is important - the current code looks like "We'll sprinkle some encode
and decodes around and problems will magically be solved".
I haven't seen Ebraminio on the mailing list or IRC either - so no +1 for
Ebraminio from me - at least: not yet.
Thanks,
Merlijn
