This post is posted because no much people replied the bug 295772.

Summary:
The current situation of the zh-TW locale:
For over 6 months, Hung-Te Lin (aka "piaip") has been conscripted (or
more specifically, impressed, because of the laws in Taiwan).
This almost leaves him no time at all.
Recently the MozillaTaiwan community has been discussing about the
locale owner issue, mainly about Firefox and Thunderbird, which
suffered from the fact that noone is working on locales of the new
version.
I was willing to help, so they suggested that I should apply for the
locale owner of Firefox.

===================================================
Reply from Pavel Franc (Pawell):
Is Hung-Te Lin going to be a browser/mail/toolkit peer or he is leaving
the l10n
work at all? In the second case you need to apply for a CVS account.
We need also some note from Hung-Te Lin that this is OK for him.

===================================================
My reply:
As for the peer, we still can't contact Hung-Te Lin so we're not sure,
but we
hope he don't need a role change, it's just that he's conscripted, and
after
that, he can do the localization again.
Actually in the last few months we did try to mail him (and tried to
phone him,
even), but with no replies.
We'll still try to contact him, but to catch up with Firefox 1.1, it
might be
necessary to change the locale owner if we still can't contact him in
two weeks.

===================================================

I personally think it's time to temporary change the locale owner until
piaip come back.

發現 bug 295772 已經沒人理了<(>_<)>"
所以就把 l10n 的 issue 直接貼到 n.p.m.l 上
（n.p.m.l = netscape.public.mozilla.l10n）

I think that we should try to avoid any temporary changes.
We have a role of peers who can work on code when owner is not available.
