I do wish he'd do it more tactfully - I close them also but I leave a
comment and direct them to their native mailing list for translation.

I'm not a 100% fan of this because then the "description" is not in
English and we have to dig down to find where it is translated at.

At this point I don't see enough of these to add yet another
whiteboard/keyword. A total of 6 seems too low for yet more things to
track. The French ones are surprising as we have the French BSA, we are
talking about other native BSA's also but in all honesty, hard to
justify the time when the #'s are this low.

Just my thoughts.


Best,
