 (6) From time to time, the l10n coordinator will pull from "git.git" when
    meaningful number of changes are made to the translatable strings.  I
    hope this would happen much less often than once per week, preferably
    much less frequently. The l10n coordinator updates po/git.pot and
    makes a commit, and notifies the l10n teams.

notifies the l10n teams using another mailing list maybe.

I personally think using the regular git@vger.kernel.org list would be
preferrable for this.  People who translate would want to learn the
reasoning that led to the final phrasing of the messages to come up with
usable translation, and following the main list would be one way to do
so. Having to follow two separate list will be an unnecessary burden.

But the choice of how to coordinate his or her work with the l10n teams is
entirely up to the l10n coordinator.

And i18n patches that modify the _() markings in the source code, will
only go through "git.git" tree in the normal channel, IOW, this mailing
list.

Yeah,  works on the codes but not the po files still send to this list.

Many if not all of the po files in gitk and git-gui were discussed on this
list and integrated to the tree with the usual "format-patch to am" review
flow just fine.  You keep saying that l10n patches does not work, but that
is patently wrong.

It is a different matter if it is the most convenient for l10n patches for
both the l10n folks and others to review and discuss on this list, or on
web based services like GitHub.
