Yes, may be if future. But you are the first non-Russian person in the
list. Our moderator can see subscribers and say exectly who is
subscribed and how many non-Russinas here. So why we should use
non-native language?

Some time ago in gnome lists (seems gnome-list) was discussion about
using of non-English languages in the list. Common opinion was
something like "let somebody talk his native language. If someone in
list can understand message then he will reply to it, if no - message
wil be unreplied".
Discussion about list language seems to me unproductive. If you have
any question on cyrillization or i18n of gnome you are welcomed to ask
it (may be in your native laguage, seems, we can understand some words
;)) ). Everyone in this list can speak (at least write) in English
more or less fluent, so somebody shurely will answer you.
