Description Claude Paroz 2008-06-19 16:38:02 UTC 
This was discussed in a thread on gnome-i18n. Gil proposed to add a 'stalled' property in the team XML file.
IMHO, this is difficult to maintain. I'd rather find a way to detect this automatically (e.g. from PO-Revision-Date in po files).

Some more ideas by Andre:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2012-August/msg00026.html

Important point is his script to detect dead teams:

http://people.gnome.org/~aklapper/guadec2010/git-translations.sh


I think that the "when to consider a team stalled" would be not having done any single commit for the last 6 months.

Then having a command/trigger that looks at translations done by that team and sending both to the coordinator and the gnome-i18n mailing list would do its job.

Adding a new field on Teams to mark them as stalled would help to both not send duplicate emails and also add a nice/scary warning on teams page warning that this team is in need of love :)
