Despite this claim, you have not touched this translation since 2023.
And two of the handful of changes you made that year were ... changing
your email address in all of those files.

I don't think that all this churn this is reasonable, especially for a
translation that appears to have been abandoned. So I don't really want
to apply this. I would suggest you send me an alternative *removing*
that information from those files, optionally leaving a credit for past
work done in Documentation/translations/zh_TW/index.rst. The question
of when this translation becomes too old and should just be removed can
be left for another day.

Thanks,
