I don't see anything abnormal in the list setup, but it looks to me like none of the language lists are getting commit messages and haven't for years, maybe since the switchover to Git from SVN?

This is already more than a couple of other languages that are currently active on PHP.net.

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.

Yes, I think different enabling and disabling guidelines are a good idea and your enabling proposal is in line with what I was thinking and had discussed with Gina on IRC. I would want to include security because it helps emphasize that it is an important part of the documentation.
