 I did yes.

 Done.

 This issue was raised twice, yes. Savannah does not offer translation
support unfortunately. The translators will have to work as any other
webmaster until it does.

 That would be useful, indeed. However, I won't devote much time to the
evolution of the www.gnu.org CVS tree in the future and I hope webmasters
will take over. I'll do whatever is necessary to make the current setup
run smoothly but will not lead new efforts. The migration took a lot more
time than I first thought ;-)

 Definitely, yes. I know a group of sysadmin working on at geocities-like
web site that do this for all their files, including system files. It helps
them a lot but it's a lot of work to make it work properly.
