Andreas, thank you for emphasising this once again, that's exactly what
I've wanted to write.  I think your rules should be placed onto:

  http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus

to avoid this evergreen in the future.

In a multilingual community like this one it's not of the highest
priority, that everybody understands everything -- if one e-mail is not
understood, so be it.

cheers
Maciej
