Yes, it probably happened as I had a serious, nasty problem with email
handling lately; I've wanted to mail you to make nano maintainer email
point to address@hidden for quite a while now, but have failed for
the same reasons my mailbox is overflowed.

So, let's make this a formal request to change the contact address for
nano. David, this doesn't mean I won't do the commits for po/ stuff
myself, I don't want to give you yet another burden, it only means the
notifications will be public, and if something escapes my attention, you
can check it out.

Yeah. These files were translated externaly, before nano became a GNU
project and its translations were moved to the TP. All other translators
started using the TP, except fi and cs, which had been long abandoned
(last modifications in 2002 and 2003 respectively), and were marked by
Karl as external. When not so long ago we saw there was nobody working
on these files, I asked Karl to get rid of the marks so the fi and cs
teams could take these domains officially under the TP. I'm not sure if
we should have announced that on team-leaders, though.

I hope this clarifies, and sorry about the inconveniences.
Jordi
