[Openstack-i18n] Zanata, message to the team

Hi Doug,

I see one advantage in that approach, the list is already there. I see 
more disadvantages:

- we'd need to make sure that all translators are subscribed. I don't 
think it's the case

- for a regular translator many stuff discussed here may not be relevant 
or interesting

- they will all have to setup proper email filtering and it needs 
discipline for the poster to stick to that. You'd probably need two 
tags, one for the project and one for the language

- we can't use the local language to discuss language specific stuff but 
need to stick to English

And there may be a few more. These however were my thoughts why I 
(still) think it should rather be a Zanata feature as there we have 
user/team information and could easily target messages to relevant people.

-- 
Thanks,
    Robert
