That would be great. Kim actually contacted me privately (perhaps
just a Reply instead of Reply-All), and I've encouraged him to contact
this list to state his intentions if he wants to contribute to the
Danish translation.
There are *so* many languages, that it seems overkill to list them
all, without knowing someone is going to pick up the translation. By
having folks mail this list, it not only gets me to add it to the
translation page, but also let's others in the community know somebody
is working on it.
My sense is that people who are contributing meaningful translations,
even if only through the Pootle site, would be made committers,
following the normal process. That's something for the PMC to
discuss, however.

Actually, we've got several translations which are far from complete,
but which still ship. There's probably some minimal threshold
translations should meet, but I've got to think it's *very* low. :)
