(Not) available aspell dictionaries

Hi,

I had a look at the list of available aspell dictionaries at [1] and
compared it with the Debian packages that are available. The
comparision is a OO.o table (attached as .sxc and .pdf, .html version
available at [2]).

28 dictionaries are packaged [3]
39 dictionaries are not packaged

I'm interested in getting these 39 aspell dictionaries into Debian.
The problem is that I don't speak any of them [4], but I should be
able to ask some friends for linguistic support for at least the
slavian and romanian languages missing.

What I'm asking now is
* does it make sense to mass-ITP so many dictionaries?
  (someone created the dictionaries, so there must be interest in them)
* does it make sense to package languages I don't speak, but where I
  know someone that does? (probably yes)
* does it make sense to package languages I don't speak, and where I
  don't know someone that does? (questionable)
* does it make sense to package languages where I don't even know the
  charset/script? (even more questionable)

One thing I thought of was filing RFAs (and additionally ask for
Co-Maintainers) on the packages right from the start, so that someone
interested in the dictionary could take it over easily. That way the
dictionaries would always be in the best hands they could be.

Comments?
