While I spent one paragraph of my message to Enwiki

making the point of why it is important in particular for them to
participate, my view is that we all need to participate. I worked on
English because it had such a large problem, because it is the
language I speak well, and because it is a community I have been a
part of. Other, more qualified, people have been addressing turnout
in other languages.
...and, presumably, you'd be more than happy to run the process on any
other project if someone provided you with a local translation of the
necessary text? The checking process ought to be pretty much portable.
I think perhaps this might be a rather sensible thing to try and do
from the outset, next time, on as many projects as practical. It
allows a much less ambiguous explanation than one line in sitenotice -
it's almost impossible to have a good succinct explanation there which
doesn't provide scope for misunderstanding or make it look like
*everyone* is eligible.
