Incidentally, I may ask you to check the pt_BR maillist? Its commit's
trigger stopped sending mails a while ago, so the very small
Portuguese community it's at loss of actively reviewing all commits.

I would argue about issuing two different guidelines, instead of one. One
guideline for enabling, and another for disabling. For enabling, the
translation compilation must be ok and has all files on chapters/
and language/ translated (instead of a percentual). And for disabling, for
having the manual build failing or no commits for 3 months.

Beyond chapters/ and language/, maybe faq/ and security/ may be included,
but any inclusion may further hinder any nascent new language translation.
