Yes-- sorry.

I have since found another address for Yoruba: Abayomi Mobolaji
Onibudo (bonibz at hotmail dot com), given on
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/yo/ .  I haven't tried to contact this
person yet.

I've now merged translations for

epiphany
gnome-desktop
gnome-menus
gnome-panel
gnome-session
metacity
nautilus

into the HEAD of each, msgmerging each one with the .pot for HEAD.
Could the Damned Lies people tell the site that ig=Igbo and ha=Hausa,
please?

I did not merge evolution because it's LGPL (those I did merge are
GPL).  I did not merge anything else because they're non-GNOME
projects (unless I missed something) and so I don't have commit rights
for them.

Feedback is welcome!
