Hi everyone :)
I've received the debconf update mail [1] for the file "mailman
1:2.1.8-3".
Although my language is now supported in both stable [2] and trunk
[3] Mailman, this template does not list my language in the fairly
long list of supported languages.
Does this mean that the Debian package is lagging behind current
versions?
I'm a bit disappointed, because I've looked forward to my community
being able to use Mailman.

These notes are for translators who may not be used to the jargon:
[1]
(a) debconf - a configuration program for the Debian free-software
operating system: its files are called "debconf templates". If you
package software for Debian, you also create a debconf template to
configure that software for that user's Debian system.
(b) update mail - there are around 700 debconf templates, so
monitoring a list of them, especially in a distributed system like
Debian, is inefficient. Developers can register for these update
mails, which notify the last translator when the file is updated, and
send it to him/her for update. You send the updated file by reply.
[2] stable - the newest released version of Mailman for general use
[3] trunk - the newest developed version of Mailman, for testing use
