AFAIK, the official language policy for this list is just that: Write
in whatever language suits you and your target audience. On
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be everybody can read
that "We use English as our lingua franca, but if you can't write or
understand English, you can use Dutch, French or German too.". We may
use a bigger red font, but I'm not sure it would make a difference.

I totally agree...but you can't expect everybody do behave this way.
Especially in a community centred around a country where language(s)
is such a sensible issue.
