English is mandatory on this mailing list.
Without giving precise numbers about registered people, less than 10% of
the people registered to this mailing list can read and write Japanese.
AFAIK, I am the only non-national able to do that. So by sending messages
in Japanese to this mailing list, 90% of the people won't be able to get
what is spoken about because of the language barrier, That is honestly too
much. If some people feel more confortable in Japanese what we could do is
create a special mailing list only for Japanese speakers, this will avoid
any language inconvenience to the other users, and people willing to speak
in Japanese could do it freely there.

However you have to consider that you will really get an answer faster if
you send your messages in English here.
