Description:
As a translation administrator, I want to be able to sign talk page notifications and email notifications with my own username rather than a generic group such as "Meta Translation Administrators"

As a translator (or user), I want to be able to understand where the hell the notification is coming from and where I can ask questions about the notifications or the translation.
Requirement: the translation administrators could just add relevant links in the free text message area, but looks like they're unable to, so the system should help/force them by requiring a contact page to be specified and link it (e.g. from the signature).

As a translator (or user), I want to be able to understand where the hell the
notification is coming from and where I can ask questions about the
notifications or the translation.
Otherwise, I'll be completely confused and I'll either do nothing or ask
questions in the wrong place and wait for an answer for months.
This gets worse because of bug 39073 comment 4.

just for information: on dewiki the bot was blocked today[1] for failing to sign his messages or providing other contact information, e.g. how to opt out again (among other things).
Definitely doesn't fit the definition of "major". As for the specific incident, I'm following on its talk page.
Reducing to normal because it's an enhancement request and there is no severity field here.
Change 190200 had a related patch set uploaded (by Se4598):
Add signup URL to onwiki notification
Superseded by the deploy of GlobalUserPage (the Meta-Wiki user page has all required information) and by the addition of an unsubscribe link (example).
No single example was yet found of a messaged user who was unable to find contacts or to unsubscribe.
Closing invalid. Alternatively, we can say the patch above resolved the issue.
