We will face a problem in the near future that will slow us down

translations on Transifex. Often projects are handled on a group based

are not using the Fedora teams. A coordinator is in charge for the
approval of new members.
There are several projects with a coordinator who is unresponsive. In
this case a new user who wants to contribute have to wait for days/weeks
to get approved. This is not really bringing us forward and is
frustrating for people who wants to get started.
I think that there needs to be something like a "unresponsive
coordinator process" (The package maintainers do it that way). Or an
other approach could be to let other coordinators approve people for
their language to any group.
I'm not sure how we could help with that. Maybe someone from FLP could
volunteer to co-maintain the project with the maintainer, helping him
approve members?
I suppose this is probably something we should discuss directly with
the developers in question.
What do you think about that? I know this is not really a Fedora
L10n
issue but many of the Projects translated through Transifex lands in
Fedora releases.
Indeed. If we can help, it'd be great. But as you mentioned, this is
ultimately the developer's choice and responsibility.
