Oh, yes, thanks for reminding.
I looked at it now and searched through CVS and it seems that there
are only 6 bn.po files in GNOME CVS which list you as a contributor,
and almost all of those contributions are from 2003. Please see
http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/RequestingAnAccount -- it is
in general only recent personal contributions that count. In other
cases, you are expected to be able to strongly motivate why you need
an account. Can you clarify please?
