The process is most easily started by submitting the first translated
file to be committed. Then the language can be created with the contact
details, etc. A slightly relevant question is whether a glibc locale
already exists for Ojibwe.

There are a few other notes here:

As for the scripts: GNOME follows the glibc convention with things like
uz@cyrillic or be@latin
Other people would be able to say better how these are handled in
language switchers, etc.

I'm obviously no expert in these languages, but it sounds as if this is
the more appropriate way to handle the "script split".

Welcome again!
