Just FYI, TWN staff has seen no help at all in the last few months, so everything in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-August/062960.html is still valid and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/38638 dependencies are longer than ever.
The small good news is that now good devs can follow the support requests for them with a nice RSS feed, see the link at e.g. https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Nike#Support_TODO
Today I got rid of 16 of the many issues, previously "assigned" to Fabrice Florin, which gave me nightmares on https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support/Open_requests by dumping them on bugzilla to forget them: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=i18n&keywords_type=allwords&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&query_format=advanced&email1=federicoleva%40tiscali.it&component=ArticleFeedbackv5&component=MoodBar&component=PageTriage&product=MediaWiki%20extensions
