Hello Doug,
Since translators are now mainly focusing on translating user-facing
projects (e.g., Horizon),
that I think would be fine to translators.
Andreas said that if reno needs fixes, strings might look different, so
it is better for translators
not to translate releasenotes before some fixes on reno will be applied.
And it will be so great if you will come at I18n contributors meetup for
short time
(AFAIK within 14:00-18:00 on Oct 30, during Barcelona Design Summit) to
discuss this issue and go for further steps.
I remember that we had nice conversion on Austin I18n contributors meetup
(at that time, about releasenotes translation and PTG).

I really appreciate Andreas's kind caring of this. Also, thank you very
much for remembering this as task list.
I would like to happily keep track of this issue and try to find ways to
address it, as a candidacy for I18n Ocata PTL.
With many thanks,
