The zh_TW translation has been unmaintained for about two years: the listed maintainer has been unreachable, and because no active maintainer was listed, get_maintainer.pl did not point contributors at anyone who could actually pick up a patch. My own zh_TW patch sat on the list for five weeks for exactly that reason. Following the discussion in [1] and the plan in [2], list the people who have stepped up to carry zh_TW forward, with a shift in focus towards Taiwanese Mandarin terminology rather than a plain simplified-to-traditional conversion. Move Hu Haowen to CREDITS and drop his personal repository links, which are no longer reachable. The current translation is built on his work, but MAINTAINERS is a list of who to contact, and the listed address has not answered zh_TW mail for about two years, which is what made zh_TW hard to contribute to in the first place. zh_TW stays a separate entry and is maintained separately from zh_CN; the two may share a tree for pull requests, but the review and terminology work is independent.

Current split of work, for the record rather than for the git history: Chen-Yu Yeh - translation and zh_TW terminology decisions Weijie Yuan - miscellaneous matters, list monitoring, status reports Dongliang Mu - review The address in the CREDITS entry is the one Hu Haowen asked to be listed under in [3].
