Ok, that sounds reasonable.  I can point one of the guys on core@ at this PR 
actually since he is in .jp and I think he might work with jp.freebsd.org.

I understand.  I'm mostly just trying to make a point about what the project 
can or can not do.  I guess the biggest thing is that freebsd.org and 
jp.freebsd.org aren't very tightly joined, but fairly independent of each 
other.

Sure.

Yes, I wouldn't expect you need to resort to e-mailing core at .  Due to the way 
the projects are organized however, as far as freebsd.org itself, e-mailing 
core@ is about all you can really do.  Anything less drastic requires 
interacting with jp.freebsd.org directly, but I think we're both clear on 
that now.
