I'm an Open-Source guy too but I'm for that proposal. Anyway, this is a 
bad argument as was show already. When accepting code in a project, you 
already HAVE to make some rule as to how the code is writen, and 99% of 
the time those rules include "All identifiers in correct english (or 
rather, american) and all comments in english". Recieving a patch 
containing identifiers you cannot read is simple enouth to reject.
