Thanks Christian for filing the bug. The conversation in there however, 
still does not clarify what are the steps a team has to take to ensure 
that they eventually get commit rights. There is no mention of 
documentation (or any impending ones) about the LDAP account process, 
and whether existing teams listed in Mango would be reviewed to ensure 
that they conform to the requirements. Often, teams go through changes 
in leadership and may have to go through the entire process, 
irrespective of the maturity/trust of the existing account holders from 
the language team. How would such a situation be handled?

The solution plan as described in:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541505

does not have any time line about the change in process and does not 
talk about how the *existing* languages  would be re-instated into Mango 
(assuming, the current mandatory rule of 
"team-gets-listed-if-svn-account-exists-for-coordinators"  is still in 
place). Some of these language teams have been around for nearly 5-6 
years, highly active, have a larger group of volunteers and have also 
gone through changes in coordinatorship. Most of the individual language 
team bugs have been closed with an outright NOTABUG resolution, without 
any clarification of what we are doing wrong and/or what is to be done next.

Thanks

regards
Runa
