Great, specs ain't no problem ...

I don't have a complete list of the odd lists. I have a fairly good
overview of MIA translators. Some use the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (which is
IMHO dead), the current example used "skolelinux-germany
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

I would not think so complicated. I would add a switch (defaulting to
no for backwards compatibility) which would do
if language=="XX" and defaultCC(XX) != "" then
if (defaultCC(XX) != language_team(XX)) then
CC += "defaultCC(XX)"
fi
fi
In words: If a defaultCC for a certain language is set (and the switch
is "yes") *and* the defaultCC is not the "Language Team" then
*additionally* CC: to the defaultCC.
This way, each project using your tools could define their own set of
defaultCC and you don't have to keep white or black lists in your
code/package.

I think if --languageteam is selected *and* a defaultCC is present in
the configuration file both teams (if they differ) should receive the
CC. If they are the same, the present behaviour would result. But of
course, you could also make this independently configurable, though I
fail to see a reason atm.

A possible solution, but IMHO more cumbersome, as any typo would
escape the filter. Also sometimes this other list might reach
appropriate translators, e.g. when upstream translates himself.
In simple words:
I like that every de.po gets copied to debian-l10n-german as well, and
(if possible) the original list gets copied also.
Thanks for your *extremly fast* response
