Guess that SLOB mailing list is enough for this sort of decision.

 Walter,

 As always, I am ready to assist with i18n/L10n efforts as needed.  In
 the past we've had an active Japanese localizer, but it has not been a
 priority language for recruiting.  Efforts like this are wonderful
 opportunities to reach out to an online language community at other
 projects to let them know that their work is destined in real-time for a
 particular audience, which can be quite motivating.  It is also an
 opportunity to recruit new stakeholders to the L10n effort to benefit all.
