me too, I find them useful and act on them. although maybe the frequency is a bit too high (like, each time i realize there is a problem, there are already 5 messages saying it)

This is another problem I think, and it is that the notifications are getting stuck somewhere, or the fixed files are not making it to the repo.
I mailed tails-translators@??? today about this string too.

Not sure how to follow up. I see the notification and fix it in weblate. I don't answer to the list after, and check if the messages disappear after a while.

I mailed tails-translations about the stuck notification, but I think this messages are for translators, not admins.
Maybe we can make them more clear to understand, or better, give a link?

I like the proposal of sending them to the committer or the language-specific mailing list, but not to tails-translators@???.
