I haven't really tracked translations so far, so my own level of
suitability here is pretty close to zero, modulo non-task-specific
computer expertise (which some people deem sufficient for making me
useful for Windows support, a system I have successfully avoided for
decades). In other words, I'd be happy to delegate, but we are not
likely to have the help of patchy-staging for it. Stuff has to be
well-tested.

I am clueless in that area, so it will be good if you kept track of what
was required here. I think we have a reasonable chance to be in the
same room with Graham when releasing 2.16 if things go well.
