There's a reason for that. There's a *lot* of village pumps. Hundreds.
In different languages. I can't possibly handle that many different
conversations in that many languages. Even if I only post to 2-3 of
them, I still have to have the same conversation over and over again
with different sets of people.
We need a global system for communication for things like this.
Everyone should be a part of a single communication thread about
changes. All posts in the thread should be able to be translated in a
crowd-sourced manner.
Just a quick note that the wikitech-ambassadors list
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors is
helping with this, and is going to be helping more -- I'll wait for
Guillaume to lead the conversation about this, hopefully in the next 2
weeks.
