Not all maintainers are familiar with ‘context’ or even with translation at all, some can’t decide which context to apply and are looking for more feedback. To help us translators to collaborate on getting contexts added, I’ve tagged my context issues with ‘translation context’. Please do tag you issues too and mention them on this mailing list.
