Our motivation is encouragement of translators credits. As a
translation community we have perhaps a bit closer to .po
files than git(s). Though listing translators in .po files
on its own is not guarantee of the credit, neither is it the
commit authorship.

My view is your concern is reasonably understandable and we
have already touched that in our internal discussion.
Nevertheless, I still tend to think that the projects
sensitive to the space/size requirements are smaller in
quantity.

And yes, the 'Contributors in comment' add-on stays optional
in an opt-out way. It deserves inclusion either in our
documentation and 'request template'.

With regards,

Josef

[389-users] Whether or not have vocabulary about roles like superuer, admin and others in the `https://www.port389.org/` ?

I have reviewed all docs in the https://www.port389.org/.

but don't find any vocabulary about roles like superuser, admin, reader, writer and so on.

Where can I find these vocabulary words? Which org establishes these standards?

That ticket is missing a compelling rationale for this change, as IMHO
listing author names in the .po files (or any source file) is an obsolete
hangover from the days before people used reliable version control for
change tracking.

In upstream projects I'm maintaining that use Fedora weblate, we long
ago stopped recording any "Author" lines in most source code files,
with the intent that every contributor is accurately identified by the
git commit author records. We have weblate configured to merge commits
"by author", so we can retain a record of what work each translator did.

IMHO "Contributor in commit" plugin should remain optional for any
projects which are preserving translator authorship via git history,
rather than force this obsolete history tracking concept on all projects.


With regards,
Daniel

[fedora-arm] 2026-03-02 @ 17:00 UTC - Fedora 44 Blocker Review Meeting

# F44 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2026-03-02
# Time: 17:00 UTC
# Location:
https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.io]=chat.fedoraproject.org

Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 44 blocker review meeting! We have 3
proposed blockers and 3 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta, and 1
proposed blocker1 for Final.

Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time
in your local time:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+43+Blocker+review+meeting&iso=20260302T17&p1=1440&ah=2

The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web
client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a
dedicated client of your choosing.

If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .

Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If
you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links
labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions.
Those links take you to tickets where you can vote.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how
exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the
meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs
where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**

We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F44 can be found on the
wiki [0].

For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process,
check out these links:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process

And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
the SOP on the wiki:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting

Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!
