After I contacted them on the mailing list I've got a positive reply.
After all this is just a translation.  I am not particularly opposed
to them keeping their software base clean from changes they don't like
- this is normal in Open Source and of course everyone is open to fork
it if he thinks he knows better.  But I am very disappointed by their
organisation - inviting people to send this f**ing snail mail and not
bothering to check if it arrives, then not answering emails - this is
a very bad sign.

Maybe they'll improve, we'll see - now at least they answered my emails.
