I'm not a coordinator but have the exact same feelings. 

Another thing that I'm worried about is that they seem to be working on 
old files.  I didn't bother to create an account to see the contents of 
their files, but the last edited date for kcmkonq (ja), for example, is 
2006-04-04.  I made lots of changes to the file after that date to 
correct errors, enhance readability etc.
