As soon as we have a new press-contacts list I fail to see that there is
any point in having translators as well, because the contacts are
precisely the people doing the translations as well. If we had teams of
translators that are not the same guys handling press contacts, I would
opine differently, but that's just not how it is.

In my opinion we should just rename translators and subscribe the RC
addresses to it.
