It is not a decision. It has always been this way / policy. There is one
coordinator who checks in for everyone. This works fine for many teams.

The accounts process sucks. I've mentioned this many times on Planet
GNOME. Just email your coordinator. Don't rely on some ticketing system.

I do want to make some comments though:
 * it is not strange that if you request an translator account from the
   'alacarte' maintainers that you fail to get a good response (although
   I would assume they would at least reject it)
 * if a ticket is closed, we don't go back after a year and reopen it
 * tickets are never 'lost'

So why not email fatalerror or lucasr?

Did you mention this to fatalerror and/or lucasr? I did not see this bit
of information in the ticket you mentioned.

I did not see fatalerror decline your offer. Really, why not discuss
privately?
