   I'm wondering whether that's still a valid restriction.  I like to help
   with bug reports written in German.  My proposal:

       Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
       do not necessarily/always?[please, choose a good word] have
       translators to read other languages for them.

etc/SERVICE lists people who declare their ability to go beyond the rigid (but
imminently practical) constraints currently in place.  i think the best thing
to do would be to encourage people to look in that file for local help.
