When a project is outside KDE infrastructure it can happen that it's 
translated by translators outside our teams. In this case, for example, I 
don't recognize the name of the Italian translator. When the translation is 
imported into our infrastructure, every team applies its rules for translating 
it and it can happen that the translation is automatically assigned to another 
(internal) translator. When something like this happened in the past, we 
(Italian translator) tried to contact the original translator asking him to 
join the team and continue the translation (or also translate other stuff). 
I'm pretty sure it happened something similar for other teams.

What I tried to say is that, if you ask directly the existing colibri 
translator to join the respective translation team, it would make our life a 
bit easier :)
