Sorry, here it is from the list archive:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2007-May/msg00016.html

If one looks closely at the mail in the link one will find "True, I do not think that duplication of work is necessary.  But I
do feel that the glossary should have been committed earlier in order
to enable others to use it. No one should be forced us to reinvent the
wheel.
"
Linking this with the issue that the bulk of the commits were done in the last ~one month my argument stands.
