Thanks for your answer. The italian repository found in the TEAMS files
hasn't received an update for more than 5 years. I've opened a PR on the
git-l10n repo, but it doesn't pass all the checks due to many obsolete
entries.

Maybe Alessandro can shed some light on the current status of
the italian translation.

Also, notice that when creating a PR the default PR
message tells the user that the correct way to post a patch is via the
mailing list: I assume this behaviour is inherited by the main git repo, 
but still can be a bit misleading.

Thanks again for your work.
