We also consider packages in ELPA components of Emacs for which we are
responsible, and bug reports for them do appear on our bug tracker from
time to time.  I suggest ignoring bug reports or commits with titles
that you are not concerned with.

The crucial difference between packages and translations is that once
they are complete, they are for good, and developments in other
components only infrequently affect them.  Maintainership is largely a
matter of fixing bugs, which is no obligation of yours.

Which, whose, when?
