However, I believe translation team coordinators should be leaders that are public-facing, and it should be easy to reach them thorugh e-mail. As an example of a use case: as a member of the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team, I'd much prefer to send a single e-mail to 10 people than manually contact each one of those 10 people in Launchpad if I need to make sure an important message is communicated. > There is still a per day limit of person that you can contact via the > "Contact this user" feature ... so if someone wants to contact 20 > coordinators in a single day, this can be a problem. > Exactly: that's the problem I ran into when trying to contact directly team coordinators who hadn't responded to the e-mail I sent to the list for participation in the Ubuntu Translations Teams Healthcheck Survey last cycle. It works for one or two teams, but it does not scale for the 150+ translation teams we've got. Thanks!
