Hi Praveen,

Thanks a lot for addressing all the points. There are only two pending
issues, and it would be great if you could take a look at them:

      * Could you please request the deletion of the
        ~ubuntutelugutranslators team by filing a support request at
        https://launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion ? If the team is no
        longer used, there is no point in having it in Launchpad, and
        might confuse contributors
      * Although you've done the right thing, Launchpad mailing lists
        should generally not be used for Ubuntu teams (*). I'd recommend
        creating a translation team mailing list named
        'ubuntu-l10n-te(at)lists(dot)ubuntu(dot)com' by sending a
        request per e-mail to 'rt(at)ubuntu(dot)com'. Please let us know
        when you've done that and I'll take care of requesting the
        deletion of the other Launchpad mailing list.

Regards,
David.

(*) The most important reason for translation teams being, that we
encourage a model with a few reviewers (i.e. the members of the
moderated team) and many translators (i.e. those who can only submit
suggestions). Launchpad mailing lists only allow members of the team as
subscribers, which would leave all non-member translators out of the
mailing list
