Well, as an outsider, I second this...

At QGIS we have/had several mailing lists and some of them are just too
quiet (our tr list is almost void, people prefer the 'community list').
Same with the GUI/UI list we had, often you needed the input from devs
too... So we stopped it.

Note that often the translation questions are either incrowd (what do we
use as germans for this word), or technical (why do I have to give two
translations for this (singular/multiple).

Better to maybe use a [TR]-subject-convention in the dev list: put [TR]
in the subject when it is translating related....

Regards,

Richard
