The issue is more that english is our lingua franca, and that any report in "english" is beneficial to ALL of us. The best proof of this is that David posted this here. Not on wikien-l...
French, Germans etc... rarely mention their own interviews HERE on wikipedia-l... in short, an article, a show, in english and especially when Jimbo is in, will have a much larger audience.
I would very much welcome it if our French, German, Chinese, Portuguese (etc.) editors posted more often to this list about media coverage, even if it's only in or about their language. No knowledge of English required. Keeping the day-to-day discussions about each language Wikipedia segregated on its own mailing list is generally a good thing, but when you have something special to share, share it. I think David posted this to the right place.
