You can see my first mail in 
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2022-January/msg00014.html
I was trying to reply to that so the messages was keept in the same 
place but that didnt happen.



Yes i joined the danish team mailing list years ago.
Yes i submitted the translations to the mailing list as instructed.

That have "worked" for many years.
Sometimes with extremely long waiting periods of like 2 years.
But at least it "worked".

Around 3-4 months ago the person who is currently the danish coordinator 
basically wrote in the mailing list that he refuses all translations 
submitted by me.

There is no public archive of the message so can't show you.



So if i translated something and submitted the translations 2 years ago 
i guess the danish team coordinator decided 3-4 months ago that he would 
not accept/look at/merge anything from me.

Not just new translations that i might submit in the future but also all 
the old translations that i already submitted long ago and have been 
waiting for for a long time.

It's not a small amount of things that have been waiting. Many files.

Some of which have been waiting for 2 years without being looked at.



So i dont think the current coordinator is doing what a coordinator is 
suppose to be doing.

If the person dont have the time/desire or whatever to be a coordinator 
there is nothing wrong with that. But then why be a coordinator?
