It's a mail addressed to the coordinator of the FTP, see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-10/msg00056.html


Have a look at commit 6d84a36fd1dde3fe2035ff17a78672c72f3ab0fc from 10 
years ago.

I acknowledge the FTP once we branch out and prepare a stable release. 
Why not add the FTP-Coordinator to the mails announcing each release, 
and fetch all the updated po in a run with

rsync –Lrtvz translationproject.org:: tp/latest/lilypond/ po

and commit them before making any release? Note that the lilypond.pot 
will always be one step beyond the language files.

Many software acknowledge the FTP only when making a stable RC and not 
at every development release.
