I think it's great that we'll have someone with a focus on translation
issues, it's something that sometimes gets ignored.  A couple of
questions in-line:

>> 5. Please list five or more bug reports which you have triaged and include an explanation of your decisions. Please note that these bugs should be representative of your very best work and they should demonstrate your understanding of the triage process and how to properly handle bugs. For all the bugs in the list, please indicate what importance you would give it and explain the reasoning. Please use urls in your list of bugs.

Does this need to be filed upstream as well?  Why or why not?

What should we do if the submitter never translates this?  What other
information do you think we need here in order to mark this bug as
triaged?
