The story is that a long time ago, the FSF funded what is called the
"Translation Project" to centralize all the i18n and l10n efforts of free
softwares. Some time ago, I proposed to ease the use of this effort for the
projects using savannah. And as side effect, Jaime proposed to host the
whole project on savannah. I answered that I would prefer, but that the
admin of the TP just moved to sourceforge. But in fact, they only opened a
few mailing lists there. I dunno if they would mind to move to savannah. 

The remaining question is if one of us will manage to have enough free time
and motivation to do something like the TP for the projects in savannah. I
could help since I'm involved since a pretty long time in several l10n and
i18n projects, but I'm PhD student and I have to write my thesis quite soon...
