 mhh ? I didn't followed closely, what is the problem ?

 IMHO, it would be better to send sysadmin requests on the sysadmin ml,
 as not all are subscribed on this ml.

 Anyway, I will take this one for tomorow.

 I do not think it is needed to the point that everything should be 
 blocked
 because of this.

 So I do plan to announce ml for i18n ( 2 months after creating them and 
 working a complete week
 to have it ready ASAP ), and that include instructions for people to 
 use current identity next week,
 no matter the state of catdap password reset process.

 Since the release is intended for developper, I would not consider this 
 as critical.

 If someone is not able to find where to download using 
 http://mirrors.mageia.org or using link given
 in the announce, I fear that this will not be able to do much with the 
 iso ( the one I tested
 didn't startgnome by itself.. ).

 We should not put too much pressure on this, especially on the last 
 moment.

 Well, the list on mirrors.mageia.org is up to date by definition, this 
 is the canonical
 and reference one. Sure, the design is not user friendly, but see 
 previous remark.
