In fact, there wouldn't be much for a doc committer to maintain in such
a port. You would just perform your usual work on patches, translations
etc. and the port would just pick them up from CVS, build and package them.
Monthly update also seems very reasonable to me. On average, I translate
a chapter per month :)
