Can anyone here help with this or a similar idea?

Oh!  I was so mad at ourselves this weekend when I realized we did not
have a good plan to include translators.

What we have, though, is this:

1. Colophon lists some people;
2. At the bottom of the colophon it points people to the Web-only
release of the notes

So, we can make this better by filling out that page before the release.
The list of name won't be in the ISO, but we can issue an update to the
fedora-release-notes package with the complete list.
