Zanata Removal
Summary
While most Fedora project migrated to Weblate, the old translation platform still exists and needs to be removed (the community shouldn't have to go to multiple place to contribute, and nobody assume Zanata maintenance).

Detailed Description
We created a migration page to follow projects migration from Zanata to Weblate: L10N Move to Weblate.
Remaining projects should either: migrate to Weblate or move to another translation platform.
Feedback
Weblate configuration: unless your team knows Weblate, Jibecfed will do first configuration and make you admin of your project so you can add more components.
Pull request support for Pagure: it is unlikely this features lands in Weblate before Zanata removal. Suggestion is to allow https://pagure.io/user/weblatebot for commits.
Some project requiring Sign-off: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/licensing.html#signed-off-by
Benefit to Fedora
This makes the distribution more efficient:
- translators have one single place for translating, and get many interesting features (alerts, comments, etc.)
- newcomers can directly translate without approval
- maintainer have less automation to do (po updates, etc.)
- reduce complexity (all in one place) & infrastructure costs
Scope
- Proposal owners: continue to answer questions from upstream projects and translators
- Other developers:
- if we created a ticket for you, answer it. It may require you to create a dedicated place for translations.
- if not, open a ticket to l10n team: https://pagure.io/fedora-l10n/tickets
