bzimport set Reference to bz33557.

To be clear, this is about Mediawiki, specifically, not the Wikimedia projects?

I don't mind setting up a list, but I don't want to create a list that doesn't have a need... can you point me toward a discussion somewhere to demonstrate a need?

Leaving a comment here to poke the mailing list request, the only other language variant of the mediawiki- mailing list that I can see is mediawiki-sv and from the list archives, http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-sv/, you can see that it is a very inactive list.

I can not answer this question. Please clarify it.

Philippe is asking if there's a been a discussion for this mailing list somewhere to show that there is a need for this mailing list and that it will be actively used. Due to the fact that mediawiki-l already exists, is there a page somewhere that shows that this mailing list will be actively used for MediaWiki discussions in Polish - i.e. Are there users that will be actually be using this mailing list to send emails in Polish?

I have sent inquiry to the two obvious places I know, the Polish Wikipedia mailing list (wikipl-l@) as well as technical village pump of the Polish Wikipedia. Not sure if such a forum already exists; but I think I would join the forum personally (mostly to support users).

There is no need to set up this list. I do not know anyone who is actively involved in it.

Then I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX.
